Carolyn Steele - Week #7 - Macro

Ladybug at Gardner Village

Check out the bug eyes! This ladybug posed patiently for me while I took several exposures from different angles. I like how I've ended up with just a suggestion of blossoms in the background, providing some context without distracting from the lovely lady (bug).
Nikon D300: 60mm macro lens, F/4, 1/60 sec
P.S. Notice the crosshatch texture on the background? Not something I added in. I wonder if that could be coming from the lens?
