Good looking grasshopper. The small size looks a little soft, but the larger version is good and sharp with excellent detail.

Hi,

The hairs on the back of the hopper show up nicely on the large version. I'd like a bit more room on the bottom of the shot as my only nit. Nevertheless, I like the detail and soft colors in this image.......................Jim

Very nicely captured, Swathiraj ! Cant help on the ID but it looks a fascinating creature. Would like to have seen a bit more room below, but the bg is nice and clean.
