Burst! of Nature

The Grasshopper is a fantastic image. There's personality, great detail, the focus is exactly on the eyes and the depth of field holds just enough detail to retain the insect's shape and environment without being distracting. I love the colours, the strong simple shapes and the light is excellent. It is very difficult achieve all the technical aspects and still look for the moment that gives you the personality and character that delivers such a compelling image. I can't wait to see it as a large print!
