Lovely compositon here Vincent and I like the incusion of the environment. These crickets have a lot of armour!

I might be tempted to clone out the cloud just above the cricket, as my eye keeps being drawn to it, but it's really your choice.

Hey Vincent, Very nice comp showing the environment along with a interesting pose. Great details. Well done.

[Steve Maxson]

Nice image Vincent. I like how the cricket is sort of framed by the background trees, but its body doesn't touch any of them.

Hi Vincent, I like your wide angle macro images showing the subjects habitat. Well done!
