These, or similar ones, are conquering Eastern Utah right now as we speak. Nice intricate details captured. DOF is wonderful and contrasts the insect very nicely.

Holy wow. Great detail. I have never seen this sort of grasshopper before. He looks really nice against the green background. I'd give you a 10 if I could vote. But I can't =\ Good Luck! =)

Oh my goodness! That's scary! The colours of the bug are captured so vividly and the vivid green of the background works well with that. I like the placement of the stem very much - on a slight angle and to the side. I find the crop just a wee bit too tight at the bottom edge - I think there needs to be more room between bottom tip of bug and edge of frame.
