Hi Abhishek,
This image would have been better had you take it from a higher angle so that the leaf itself would have provided an uniform background. In this case one has to scrutinize the image to look for the hopper. Was a cleaner background possible from this level?

Hi Abhishek,

Its a good enviornment photograph. Perfectly camoflagued. As Bibhav has mentioned a higher angle would have been helpful to get a clearer view. you got any more with different profile?

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Thanks,
No "cleaner" BG was possible from this angle. I do have a few from the same side but from slightly higher angles. Let me take a look at them, I'll post them if they're good.
This creature was quite fidgety, didn't manage many photos of him.

A good attempt, but agree about the shooting angle.

Sorry, none of them seem to have an even BG... I have one taken from above, but I didn't find it too good... I can post it if you want to see it as a record image.

Nice image Abhishek. Really difficult to focus this.

I think there was no need of using Super Macro.
