Nice shot.

I was surprised at the direction it took.

I don't know much about this type of photography I'm finding it hard to understand the camera settings you used?

Surely you could of used a wider aperture, which would of enabled you to increase the shutter speed for an even sharper image?

Saying all that, it is a nice image.

That is an excellent image!!! Love this!!!

Yes I could shoot at F/8 and use a higher shutter speed. But if I did I would lose detail. Detail is not sharpness. Try it yourself with landscapes. Try a 15 or 25 second shot. Ansel Adams was a master of long exposure.

He looks like an horderve waiting for a bird. Nice image that certainly conveys the title.

Detail isn't sharpness I agree, but detail does need to be sharp.

I like your image, it's well taken.

grasshoppers & pineapple plants is apparently a winning combination

Nice photo Brian. I understand what you are trying to achieve with the title and photo, but if it was mine I would probably try a really tight crop so that none of the background leaves are shown. That way the grasshopper would take up most of the frame with a lovely soft background behind it

that could work but at the lovely angles and road like leaves
