The shot is impressive and the composition would be great if it wasn't so over-exposed ! A strong correction of brightness and contrast (PS) would be needed. The sharpness of the bug is really nice and it would be a great shot !

The idea of this picture is great! And I know how hard is to catch something like this - have tryed!
Regarding postprocessing - I get your point. Still it kills the image somehow.
Just try to get 100 more beetles flying against the sun - and finally one of them would make a really good composition (just kidding ;).
Anyway I like the mood of this picture very much!

Hi Paulius,
Great idea here, some sort of summery high key portrait of a bug. I like the way you overexposed it in general, but feel that the top righ bit is just too bright, and therefore attrects the eyes away from your key subject (the bug) that is in the lower left corner. It's a good trial anyway and you got the summer mood spot on!
