Photographer's Comments
Found this interesting looking beetle in my office compound today I didn't carry my camera along to work, so I took the beetle and some leafs back home. Photo was taken in my DIY Lightbox. Did a look-up on Wikipedia and more details of this Green Beetle (cetonia aurata) can be found at this link. (Wiki : cetonia aurata). Did some sharpening of image, increased the contrast and increased the saturation as well to bring out the colour of the beetle. Comments on how to improve this photo, composition wise or post processing is highly appreciated.


Note : No beetle was harmed in this photography session. The beetle was released unharmed after the photoshoot.
