Awesome Lea, not often you get a chance to photograph that..! Great detail throughout and complimentary BG. Possibly a tad over sharpened but might be due to upload compression or something, no big deal. Very nice indeed..

Wonderful detail and well chosen DOF.
I would be tempted to get rid of the noise in the BG and go for a bit of Shadow/Highlight in PS for more detail in the darker parts of the image.

greetings,

Nothing to add... except I think it is one of your best.

Great detail Lea and stunning background. I got a pair of grasshoppers at the weekend but mine seemed to be mating in a rather perculiar position so I couldn't get them both in focus. :biggrin:
