18-spot Ladybird #2 by Aves Lux, on Flickr

I took this a little while ago but had a few from the set and wanted to edit it well.

My garden has a pine tree with geraniums underneath and I was lucky that this ladybird fell from the tree (they are naturally associated with the tops of pines trees) and started crawling on the geraniums, the pink background comes from out of focus geranium flowers.

Thanks's yeah it's rare the background works so well.
