Ladybird Beetle

A common species of ladybird beetle I found creeping on a dry plant parts that almost match its color.

Exif Info:

Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens: Nikon 40mm macro
Aperture: F/14
ISO: 200
Shutter Speed: 1/80s

Handheld, Edited, Cropped, No flash

Thank you.

The composition looks good. The shutter speed was quite less, increasing the ISO would have helped to get some more details/sharpness. Any special post processing done? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrudul ji for your complements. No special post processing is done in this image.

Wish the beetle was a bit infront. You have used f14. So there is lot of out of focus areas. Stopping down by one stop would have improved it slightly. Depth of field is always a challenge in macros. We never get enough of it. Moving to your right to get the beetle facing the left side of your frame could have been another option. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
