I really like the overall effect achieved by the radiating lines and colors of the BG! Subject is only a small part of the interest here.

Hi

A great little composition that does indeed use those radiating lines beautifully within the frame – very nice indeed

All the best
Matthew

All those rays of color are so wonderful. The shallow DOF works so well Matty

Excellent composition, selective focus on the beetle, but most of all the pretty pastel colors and limited DOF.

Great image as is, but would be a great image without the bug.

The coloured rays all leading to the subject create a very strong image.
