Excellent portrait, love the angle on the subject and the background.

It's always a challenge to decide how much of the antennae to include with katydids. This works, backing up would include more antenna length, but you'd lose closeness and immediacy.

I agree with Tom, a good compromise on the composition, nice pose as well.

I like the inclusion of the flower stem since it gives the comp balance.
