Lovely portrait. Nice light, tack sharp image with an excellent bokeh. I wish the BG was not split in 2 colours instead comprised of the light green alone (without sky). But this is a very minor nit. It does'nt take away anything from the image.

Hey Sid, Very nice details and for me I don't mind the split color in the BG.

[Julie Kenward]

I don't mind the split either but that one OOF leaf directly behind the grasshopper...I'd clone that bad boy out! The rest of the image is marvelous - your DOF was right on the money.

Nice image of this Lubber, while the BG does not bother me I am with Julie on the OOF leaf.

[Ed Vatza]

Agree on the leaf behind the hopper but overall an excellent image. I like the background and the detail on the hopper. Well done.

Very cool Sid, the Lubber looks like he even has an attitude, almost like just try and eat me human!!

I would put a little more room on the right.
