Decoration

This seems to be a long horned beetle, and seeing this for the first time. The light was a tad bit harsh and I had to lift the litlle branch to get this one. The BG is red earth exposed with direct sunlight.

6DII, 180 Tamron, ISO 400, F10, 1/40

Balan Vinod

Think I now got the name " Pseudaristobia octofasciculata "

Very nice subject.
I like your composition and the presence of the leaves instead of a plain BG.
Very well done.

Balan, that beetle and it's antennae stand out very well here. The "decorations" on it's antennae are quite striking. I like the high key sense that the bright background provides.

What a cool beetle! The red against the creamy and green BG gives an excellent contrast.
One tiny nit - that pointy OOF leaf to the lower right of the bug might go - distracting, imo.
Really fine image!
