This antloin was my guest which sat on the window. Could have done better job by adding filin light to the front.
Thanks for viewing. Requesting c&c

Hi Venu,
Lovely colors and composition. I think that you could have stopped down the aperture to get the wing tips in focus too...........Jim

I like the light and the comp and the way the subject looks against the nice bg. I agree with Steve that stopping down to get more of the great wings in focus would have been better, but you certainly got excellent detail and focus on the Antlion's body.

This is a beautiful image of the antlion. The dark bg and the light on the subject and the diagonal placement works very well. As the others have mentioned dof with winged insects is hard to manage, as they tend to flap the wings. Would have been a killer even if the front wing was in the dof.

This is well seen, Venugopal. You've got excellent detail in the antlion's body and grass stem. While fill light would show more details in the thorax and head, I like the high contrast view. You may also be able to add some subtle brightening during your processing.
