Excellent curves. The bug is well camouflaged. I've almost overseen it. Very well captured and presented Andrey. :smile:

Ah, a picture of one of my favorite plants. :smile: This looks like one of the more yellow varieties. For this theme, the yellow coloring could have been emphasized a bit more; this would also make a nice contrast for the green leafhopper. Great focus on the leafhopper and I like his comp on the edge of the leaf. A suggestion would be to crop up about 1/3 from the bottom to help place more emphasis on the bug. Nice find, Andrey!

BTW we all would value your comments too! :smile:

Very nicely composed and presented. I like the (nearly) square format.
