Great macro shot. I love the angle and the subject seems to be very cooperative. The scene seems to be rather warm and i dont know if this is the best lighting for your subject. Generally, with macro shots, details are brought out with a flash (flash units can be expensive though worth it in the long run) and i feel that is all you need for now. DO not get me wrong however, this is already a great shot and can use slight improvements

thank you, very much. Most of those improvements that could be done, I know about I am only 16, and trying to get a car, so getting better equipment is outta the question...for only about a month! I got into an arts high school, and you can rent out equipment whenever !!
(to demonstrate my lack of equipment...I have a nikon coolpix, and to get the macro effect, I stick the little lens on this thing inside of a wide angle lens with macro from the 80s or so...and my lighting is a little desk lamp from target)
thanks again for all the advice

Thats amazing to hear. You seem to be extremely creative and I'm pretty sure you could make stellar works with the stuff you can rent out from your art school.

Nice shot, awesome composition. I think beetles are so fascinating, I think you really did a great job capturing it.
