I took this photo while I was in a local cemetery. I found this ladybug on a head stone and picked it up. It decide to hang out for just a little while before flying away.

**Greeting from the Critique Club**

This is a cute idea for the challenge, showing friendship between humans and animals, however because of the space it takes, seems to be more about your finger than anything else. IMO getting closer would have give more detail on the laddy bug, giving more impact to you picture, and because of her pposition in relation to the sun, I can see some shadows that make lose some detail on her face.

DPC voters like cleaner backgrounds and I think the blue on the left is a bit distracting, try to be aware of you bg whenever you are taking pictures, working with a different apperture will also help you blur out your bg a bit more.

I hope this helps, and we are looking forward to seeing more of your work on the next challenges, look in to the side challenges too, you get a lot of feedback and you can ask specific questions you might have about your pictures.
