Nice one John! I like that you got the face and antena in focus. Nice colors. I do wish you had been able to get the grasshopper just a bit more to the left of the frame so part of its head was not behind the plant. thanks for sharing.

I like these insect shots where they are captured peeking over top of a leaf or whatever. Not sure always who is most surprised in those captures, the insect or the photographer! :smile: Great focus on the head, antennae, and especially those fascinating eyes. Nice comp and lighting too.

I like the upward perspective with the GH peeking over the leaves and the nice clean BG.

Techs look very good John, nice & sharp with good clarity.
I like the clean complimentary BG, and peek-a-boo thing too :wink:
