The beetle is a little OOF and could have more details. The bokeh is not really good because the background is too well sharpened. With more adjustments you would have an amazing shot there.

Very nice colours especially on the beetle. A bit of noise reduction (such a neat image or noise ninja) would do wonders for this photo.

Hehe, nice title, nice composition too... Pity the left end of the leaf in the background isnt a bit softer bokeh. I am getting slightly distracted by how much noise is in the image too. Nice title though, it really seems like he is trying to get there!

This is the first pic in this challenge that tells a story. Excellent focus on the beetle's antennae but it makes the back look OOF.
