Nice details. I liked the colours and the eye contact. It would have been good if you could have got the right legs in full. I would have liked a horizontal composition better without the tilt. Thanks for sharing.

The pose is nice. A bit more space at the bottom would have been better. Keeping the focus on the head would have been better. Thanks for sharing.

Is this a big crop? A side profile would have helped in the entire body being in focus.

Cheers,

Tettigoniids or Bush Crickets are also known as long-horned grasshoppers. They are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers and camouflage commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves (green and brown).

Bush cricket may be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their filamentous antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers' antennae are always relatively short and thickened.

Akshay, Can we say this as Bush Cricket. I like the details in the eyes.

TFS a very good photo.

Agree about the suggestions about the composition.
This is a bush cricket. Another way to ID them is the position of the hind legs. They are often stretched out in bush crickets, and are tightly folded in in grasshoppers.
