Hi Kallol,

A very interesting looking insect. I like the perspective that you used to capture part of the in shadow on the leaf. The shadow of the head looks like a heart.

I saw that you used F/14, ISO 500 for 1/60 second. To make my example easy, I would have shot this at F/7 (still plenty of DOF with a 34mm lens), which would give me a factor of 4 times more light to work with. The ISO would become 250, and the exposure would be 1/125 second. Then the effective exposed levels would be similar to your original. At F/7, the lens would perform better than F/14 , also.

Now, all the important factors have been improved upon from the original starting point.

Best Regards,  Mike

Seven all the way for it's perfectly well done, positioned main subject, blurred in right color background and razor sharp what is to be sharp on a macro!

Best regards Kallol!
