The second one. The distracting background is eliminated as you are interested in the beetle.

#2 Better composition and the subject matter is obvious.

Using the rule of thirds would be good. The beetle is too centered in the frame. Here is a photo that shows the rule of thirds. Try cropping some off the left side of the first photo and a little off the bottom.

Exactly!

CO is right Peter... rule of thirds is perfect for your otherwise strong images.

The horizon is low on the left of both images... needs correcting too.

Also I notice a lot of grain. Did you add "film grain" in post or
is that some other artifact?

I have never used the rule of thirds as a precise requirement. I have fortunately always had "an eye for composition" which for me works better than strictly interpreted rules. Just sayin'

I agree mate, "rules are made to be broken"; but there is a time and place,
the rule of thirds though, is made for this image...
or this image is made for the rule of thirds:

Peter: I prefer the second photo. In the first photo the hanging bulb distracts from the main subject. The second
photo brings your eye right to the subject. Otherwise you did a great job?
