is rare, in January, to find insects in my part, however, this locust has chosen to spend the winter in my garden, so for me it was difficult to carry out a shoot that bore my signature, but I was lucky this morning, she was waiting at my door home!
No crop, minimal post production.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB Oh, what a great find you have here, and look at the number of people who guessed it was YOU! Congratulations on being so well known, and with such a good entry!
Okay, to the business at hand. First, there were some tremendous insect pictures in this Challenge; yours was one of many good ones.
Second, it would be great to see the colors in the critter intensified a bit. There's still a lot of red in that guy to pull out and some yellow, and yes some green to intensify that background. If it was mine, I'd probably also crop down a bunch. Say start just to the rear of that bud on the branch. Measure about as much room to the front of the legs as between them. (On my screen, that's about an inch and a little). In other words, give him just enough room to move forward a little. I think the top is good the way it is.
All this fine-tuning might just give your very fine insect a little more 'pop.'
GiorgioBaruffi OUtstanding flying grasshopper detail with pleasantly blurred bg. Has to be in the southern hemisphere where there is something green.
i was very lucky, i'm living in italy, now is winter (very cold) and i found this grasshopper out of my home door! she was numb from the cold, so I could position and curbed on a twig and shoot a couple of photographs.
