Both are the same shot but the second is a tight crop. I could not decide what version I liked better.

Both are excellent. I would go with the cropped version. :judge:

I am always chasing bugs through the grass trying to get the perfect shot. Where I work I am the one everyone yells for if there is a spider or some other bug that need removing. :lol:

Nice macro. Are you using a tripod and cable release? Just wondering. Thanks

Hi Lila,
Since the quality is good, I think the crop works fine. Nicely done.

Thanks for all of the input. I just was not to sure about a grasshopper portrait, but I did not like the original version.
