Your opinion? Hide and seek - Longhorn Beetle ( Pempsamacra dispersa)

[Chavezshutter]

This photo is about a year old. At the end of a long bushwalking and shooting session at a park I saw this beetle in some foliage, I wanted a better shot where I could see its face clearly but as we were about to leave, this was the best I could manage while it played hide and seek. Shot on my trusty old Canon 30D.

Bugs have sometimes a hard life. Just imagine you'd have to move inside a plant like that.

Unfortunately the bugs looks a bit blurry and there'S a strong noise in the picture.

good ^^ but too much blur. did you croped ?

Helix_2648 You say noise, i say vintage . It's an old camera but i probably could have slowed that shutter down a bit for lower ISO and even a flash would have helped but back then i just shot anything I could without much thought. Thanks for your comments

Greg78340 No crop, 8 MP in full glory! I can use that camera a little bit better now, but its a bit old and retro. Thanks for the comment

I can see that insects is trying to hide from you. Regarding image, composition is good, but ISO is slightly to high which created some noise on photo.
