This katydid nymph species is often seen on various flowers enjoying its breakfast. I welcome your C & C for improvement.

Nice light and detail in the plant -- perhaps a vertical composition with focus on the insect and including the full length of the antennae would be a good alternate.

Love the subject, the flower perch, and the detail.
I think more open space on the right and less on the left would make this even better.

Nice shot Anthony, like the lighting agree would improve to include all the antennae

Hi

I like the image and think you have a nice balance between image content and image size - I like the idea of including all of the antenna, and feel this could have been achieved by a slight rotation of the lens/camera. But this is still a fun and enjoyable image as seen

All the best
Matthew

Dear all - thanks for your comments and suggestions. Points noted on the composition and to include the full length of the antennae.

Cheers!
