I'm sure he has no problem on the "tight rope"... maybe a spiderweb would've been a true tight rope? 10

I love the detail on the bug! And the colors of the post against the bug is very nice.

This is awesome. I love the combination of natural wood and man made metal rope. The whole photo is rich in color and the little guy just pops. Wonderful composition. I currently have the photo as my background on my work computer. One of the better grasshopper shots. Simple but yet has many elments. Should print this up and frame it.

Nice! Very well executed. I specially like the combination between the natural elements and the steel cable. Overall, the pic has a very natural feel. 8
