Being first I feel I should say something very meaningful but my jaw is just dropped open as I view this splendid shot Sandi.
Superb !!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It is a nice shot, indeed, would agree with Lyn above.

Composition is strong.

Colour is good good (natural). As are the colour contrasts within frame, between that of the grasshopper/bokeh/background and the flower itself. Vivid and eye catching.


Caveats?

Personally, I would not have employed a border/frame with this close of a crop.

And it's not the framing itself, which does look clean and professional.

It's the perceived visual weight of the area of the border/outer edge of frame and that of your subject matter (grasshopper/flower). Ends up competing to a degree for your viewer's attention.


You handled the technical side of things well, and your post processing/editing is good good. Loads of detail to see right down to the grasshopper's eye(s).


Great timing, great shot.

And..


But of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Those things are way to fast for me, I can never get a shot of them. This is beautifully done, Sandi.

Excellent detail on the hopper & it contrasts so nicely with the flower bud. The DOF is perfect & I like your choice in framing. Very nicely done, Sandi.
