    Default Young Grasshopper?

    Like a young grasshopper not developed the wings yet. I was photographing flowers and saw this one right next to the flowers in a prairie. A small crop on L side and top. Another blade of grass to the left was cloned out.

    I suspect this will be a cricket going by the length of the antennae. I like the lighting and the colours it all makes for a pleasing relaxing image. There is some movement in the antennae, personally I like this though very often judges will see this a fault for some reason.
    Only a minor issue but you may wish to minimise the highlights a little especially on the dorsal edge.

    Man that antennae is huge. The diaganol perch is nice as well. The background is great. Nice and sharp.
