I do not usually do macro shoots, but I could not resist it when I saw this ladybug in my backyard. I captured it and let it climb on a small plant while I set up a macro shot with Canon 100/2.8 macro lens against a background which has a sunflower. The image was cropped. Saturation and contrast were enhanced in post. Would love to hear some feedbacks and suggestions. Here is it....

Love the background ad I think it is key to this shot. Really not that close up of the ladybug for me to think of this as a macro shot of the ladybug. But I think you have a strong image here.
As cropped, the bottom of the sunflower is truncated. If you have room, I would prefer to see more of the dark center, making the ladybug almost a "sunrise" find, small in a larger scene.

Great depth of field on the bug and leaf. Nice out of focus background. Good contrasty colors. I think it came out really well.

Thanks Scott, Ben, and George for your positive feedbacks.
@Scott: I will consider another version from your suggestion to include more center part of the sunflower.
