This is a fantastic image. It is clear with effective backdrop and all the details are perfectly captured. It would not be out of Place In the National Geographic Magazine. All technical details are very good. Many thanks

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


A unique species of a hopper.
I think she pregnant!
An interesting initial impact.
She looks lovely on a variegated deiffenbachia leaf (Exotica alba).
An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Excellent lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing.

A very eye catching image with exquisite details and beautiful colors. The cropping is very nice and the background really enhances the subject.

Very nice colors and detail work here. The diagonal angle of the subject shows insight. Nice tones.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


WHAT no flower? A great macro worth much more than twenty bucks soulfeeder! (don't undersell yourself).

Sharp with great eye catchment and the details are sublime.

Your colour saturation and exposure are smack on the money and I see, true to your modus operandi this is a SOOC image and if not a sooc then close to it!

The ambient light on this is what gives it the extra punch as there are no harsh shadows shown and is pleasing to the eye. Diagonal placement always induces excitement to the image and we feel that his guy is ready to hop off.

In regards to compositional rule of placement I do feel had you given him room to fly into with more marginal space at the left it would have been a much stronger photograph, but that is an artistic element and a highly subjective opinion on my part.

Good upload.

    I don't really care about the amount I put there. I will change it. Nobody buys here anyway. I have plenty of negative space for this, so I will correct it. Thanks for this insightful review. I will modify it. Love you !

    Happy Thanksgiving. Just modify it if you feel it's right for you in your heart. Take what reviewers tell you with a grain of salt.....but you already knew this.
