Wah, love the last shot a lot, especially the reflection in the water droplet. You used the macro lens or the diopter?

It took me quite some time to take this shot which I thought is OK, that is after I reluctantly went back to my room to get the tripod...

If I have a suggestion to make, try the grasshopper in the 45 degree position next time. Like the rest too. ;D

i just found out in portraiture, head facing right in your case is the masculine look. head facing left, ie grasshopper tail on the right, will be the feminine side.

So some rules from 'other' forms of photography do apply, such as rule of thirds, leading lines, composition of insects etc. I'm doing portraiture now, and I realised some of the lessons learnt from another macro enthusiast friend of mine comes from human portraiture, such as head left or head right:)
