Ahhh grasshopper - I believe what you have there is a Romalea microptera, or eastern lubber grasshopper. A very young grasshopper! Very nice capture, Blake! Nice contrast and use of dof on the leaf.
Hi
You have placed the focus nicely in this shot, and certainly displayed an open look that has impact. I personally find the image very visually one sided though, and I wonder if perhaps a vertical composition would have brought more of a balance look? Still a cool image mind you
All the best

Love this shot!
Great choice of DOF and the insect really grabs my attention!
I feel cropping a bit of the top and left side would improve this even more!
