at risk of being a bit anthropomorphic, this Lesser Marsh Grasshopper seems to be struggling to understand what the heck I'm doing (I sometimes wonder myself :biggrin: )

Canon 7D with Sigma 150, f9, 1/100, ISO 400

Here's a larger version.

All C+C welcomed

Nothing wrong with a bit of Anthropomorphism, never did Johnny Morris any harm anyway!

Many thanks for all of the comments, much appreciated. I think this images goes to show that you can put a lot of effort into fieldcraft, technique, composition etc but at the end of the day you sometimes need a bit of luck to give an image that extra something. :smile:
