From garden, this bush cricket jumped on to plastic vegetable bowl kept in verandah. Waited for quite some time for this cricket to walk onto bright portion of the bowl which is actually back of the sticker pasted on other side. Did take 5 frames before it walked away.

Requesting for C&C.

Pentax K-5 with Tamron 90mm macro, f/8.0, 1/50 ISO 320

Love the colors and lighting from the bowl providing a beautiful colored bg for the cricket. Terrific detail as well. I also like the artistic framing and overall whimsical look. Thanks for sharing this excellent and fun image. :toast:

Overall, an excellent image. Minor nits in the pin-striping touching the antennae and the near hind leg.
