Do you have anything specific in mind that you are wanting critique on? Color, settings? composition? crop?

I think more on composition and setting. I'm learning on Macro so any advice and opinions are welcome.

If any one can advice on choosing the right object for Macro, It will be much appreciated.

Well It looks like your focus was on the grasshopper ok, but the end of the stem really distracts from your point of interest. Try getting a better angle when you can.
Perhaps if you had moved around to the side, of the stem, you would have been able to get a better lock on your subject.
Keep trying, you are on the right track.

Thanks chewys dad. Will take note of that next time.

Would it help if I throw in more bokeh effect to blur off evrything 0n the background?
