Nice and clear with good color fidelity and sharpness. Grasshoppers aren't the most challenging subject, in my opinion. I find them much too easy to photograph and rather boring.

Really nice detail, simple - not much in the frame to distract from the insect.

Great colours. Nice and sharp too. Not a lot wrong with this one. The two bright flower heads to the left of the 'hoppe's head are a distraction - clone them out for the print. Good one.

Great depth of field gives the shot a beautiful composition. You were able to capture some nice reflections that brings the grasshopper alive.
