Great capture! The details of the beetle against the soft background is lovely. I feel the detail is strong enough to allow a run through a noise reduction program to soften and clean up the background even more. You did well not to blow the highlights of the white flowers in that light.

Oh, what a pretty beetle! It's right up there with butterflies and ladybirds. The oof white flowers make a lovely background.

I like the DOF used and the floral stem to lead my eye to the beetle. Nice detail but it and colour could be enhanced with a slight UE by a 1/3rd or 2/3rds of a stop?

Lovely macro of a not so lovely subject - interesting, though.

A lovely, beautifully composed shot - the beetle is interesting and the oof b/g a perfect canvass to showcase his beauty and the detail you got.

Great job getting the DOF just right, to separate the beetle from his (her?) background.

I like the composition with the diagonal flowers, the dark beetle where the rule of thirds says it should be and the juxtaposition of colors and brightness. Good job.
