So the Galaxy does decent close-ups as well!

If these are Autumn colours I feel I'm missing out via the mono presentation.

Nice pop to the tree and there's a distinct IR feel to it.

And so important to hang on to, even better to display. Effective lighting of an interesting collection and the mirror addresses the theme nicely.

A successful 50:50 division of sky and ground; way to go when you can't decide which way to apply the rule of thirds haha.

The "leaf plates" don't seem very spikey - is this a characteristic of this species or is spikiness a bit seasonal? Nice how the tones vary on the one plant. I like the sky too.

Agree, colour would have best conveyed their presence/impact.

Maybe they're getting their beetle juice from the stem?

nicely captured image ... these aren't those lantern beetles are they? they are colorful but highly damaging to the plants and trees.
