Nice you caught them on the pod and in a good position. Nice framing. Details look nice as well. Some stacking would have been nice here. I know it's not always possible. Even just two frames at say f/16 one for each beetle. Also love that dew.

Well done, Ravi. Like the nice rich orange and black against the pastel colors of the pod and the background.

I like the colours and composition, I might be tempted to add a little more sharpening to the beetles.
