Ladybutt

[shutternut]

Just tinkered a bit with my xti and kit lens to see if I could get a decent shot of a ladybug. I cropped the original and brought out the color a little more, as well as changed the composition of the shot a little bit. Did I do ok? How is this in terms of color, composition, etc? What else could I have done? This was one of my very first attempts with macro after having the camera a few days. Still learning so all tips are welcome! Thanks!

Here is your exif:
Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 55 mm

It is located with the "additional information" under "more properties"

Nice shot, good depth of field... I think I would've liked to see more of the lady bug it's self, perhaps a bit higher, or a side view?
