Delightful and unique image, Balan. Looks more like a watercolor painting than a photo, especially with the distorted, almost cartoonish look of the cricket. There's a painter whose style this reminds me of, but I don't know the name. Anyway, this is great, IMO. :toast:

The collection of colors is great here, Balan. It's also neat that you got all of both antennae in the image, given how long they are. Nicely seen and captured.

Beautiful image, Balan. Neatly composed; that pinkish red leaf stands out well - sort of unique ! Loved the circular blobs in the BG.

Hi Balan-

The colors are very pleasing in this image. I like the composition very much. I like how you kept the entire length of the antennae in the image. That can be a real challenge. :cool:
