I have never seen a grasshopper or maybe it's even a cricket so colourful so I figured I'l desaturate it's surroundings to emphasize it:-) Only a very slight bump up in the saturation as well:-)

  Wow - what a GREAT suprise this is!! My internet connection has been down since around 2 yesterday so this was a real wonderful surprise to wake up to. I thank you ALL so very much for your wonderful congratulations and also to the judge that choose this - what an honour to be here. Thanks everyone!! Oh and I have since found out this is a very very young grasshopper - hence the bright colouring - I never knew that as I've never seen one this colourful!!
