Hi Midhun, greetings from the Critique Club!

Regarding your photo:

Composition
It was not very clear what kind of framing were you trying to achieve. Was it a macro, or did you want to include the bottom part? I couldn't quite realize how to look at it.

Technique
Something probably happened to the settings on the camera, because the ISO is through the roof, @1600, the f/ stop is 26 and 1 second exposure. You could probably go to ISO 200, f/6 and 1/100th. That would make to photo sharper and with less noise.

Processing
For this photo probably only a noise reduction and some contrast where necessary. Also the sensor spot on the top left could be cloned out.

Overall it didn't convey much to the viewer, it lacked a point of focus or interest.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

This might have benefitted from some noise reduction. I love the color on the wings!

Interesting, what is it crawling out of? I wish the ant were a bit sharper.
