Hi Carl. I'm not sure how to remove the second image without deleting the whole post - so I think I'll just leave it as is.
Good title! Nice sharpness on both the beetle and the fruit and I also like the comp and clean background (though there is some kind of small artifact in the background, just below the beetle, that could easily be removed). Removing the large specular highlight on the fruit was an improvement - you might also consider using the patch tool in Photoshop to add in some texture to that area. If this was mine, I would spend some time carefully cloning some of the flash-generated specular highlights on the beetle. Overall, this is well done!
