Speckled bush cricket

This is an immature specimen found in woodland at my local nature reserve:

Though we lean upon the same balustrade, the colours of the mountain are different.

The colors are beatiful, but I don't really like the way it is framed...
Anyway, GREAT shot ! :D

I think he's cute, but in the light of what Alex says, how about turning him horizontal.? - Wouldn't change the frame, but it might look better.

I'm one of those people who don't always show the pic the way (orientation) it was taken. :D

<< I think he's cute >>

I agree - and a good job with the pic ... these G9s seem to be getting everywhere :)

My (prob) choice for a crop, btw, would be to rotate cw so a line bisecting the antenna is approx vertical (think it was about 26 -27 deg)

This'd mean cloning a bit of bg in top r corner ... but that's what ps is for, imo :)

I think it looks better in the original orientation. When rotated, the shadow becomes a distraction as it raises questions about the source of illumination.
