Great sharpness and good composition too! Hey, isn't this a cricket though, not a grasshopper? I'm not a bug person at all, but it just happened that yesterday my daughter spotted a big grasshopper on a car in a parking lot and I actually encouraged her to pick it up b/c she was interested in it and likes bugs. Grasshoppers are lighter colored and more evenly green. This guy has those hairy legs he rubs together, right? So doesn't that make him a cricket? Or do I have it totally backwards? LOL! ~ Lonnit

The finger, the lighting, the diagonal, the little bit of cloud - all work nicely together. Neil

I fully agree with iso here.

This is a cracking little shot and a testament to what an A80 can do in the right hands. Excellent.
