    I like the composition and delicate colours. I like to see detail in the eye.
    My immediate reaction was why f5? I would have gone for f8 and if the opportunity remained then f11. I would want a soft background but equally importantly I think his armoured back plate should have been in focus. The DOF is just a bit shallow for me but I really like the image. You have made me reflect I need to go to the local heathland and try to get some grasshopper shots. The camera is a current model so its performance at higher ISO will be good, the fast shutter speed was a good idea.

    Hi Krishna,
    Love the color pallete you have working here - very nice in background and perch. Agree with Jon about aperture and DOF. Overall a pleasing image.

    I think the shallow depth of field works to your advantage. The sharpness is right where it should be. Love the colors here.
