Nice behavior shot & beautiful composition! I think if it was a little bit lighter it would bring out more of the details.

Unique image, Roberto. I like everything about it, especially the contrasting chartreuse and lavender colors. I also would not mind a bit more exposure on the the grasshopper, but this looks pretty close to me.

What an interesting capture, Roberto! I really like the pose of the grasshopper and how he is cleaning his antenna. . .gives a nice artistic curvy flair to this image! Nice focus on the body of the hopper and the front of the flower. I like the extra details of the little eggs/aphids (?) on base of the flower. Great comp, details, colors, and background.

Great composition and colors. And perfect timing to catch him cleaning his antenna so elegantly.

Congrats on the WP - I agree a bit of lightening would improve this even more.

I like the soft light and graduated greens of this BG, nice colors Roberto..
I think the sweeping curve of the far antennae adds a little something special too.
Well done & congratulations
