About
This beetle was flying near us one day whilst I was eating lunch with my parents. It landed on this shopping trolley, so I grabbed my camera and went to photograph this gorgeous insect! Meanwhile, an interested tourist was standing on the balcony where my parents were, wondering why I'd like to photograph a shopping trolley. So he came down to where I was to investigate... also with his camera, and took some photos as well! :D He then thanked me profusely for pointing it out... all the more fun! :)
An imaginative and detailed macro of this colouful bug, Marie. It looks like an exotic ladybird to me. You've got the focus very well and effective blurring of the background. From your 'about', it sounds like you've broadened the photographic outlook of the tourist!
