We had out first dew fall this week, and probably all insects were taken aback with the drop in temperature. A grasshopper in first light.

Beautiful first light, Balan. I like the triangle composition and the glow in the blade of grass. The eaten leaf edge and the dews are great complements.

Dramatic light and color. The dew covered stem is great.

The hopper and it's perch have a wonderful glow and great detail, Balan.  I think your comp. works well also, with it's emphasis on the hopper even as you include the dew covered stem on the left.
