Thanks everyone for the thoughts. It's great to see the different ideas, but why do you choose your ideas?

Onslow, bigger in the frame... just so that the subject is more visible? Do we lose any motion in the composition? Is there any perceivable motion in the composition?

What direction would you say the grasshopper is flying?

Headless & Twopynts, love your croppings. Definitely isolates the subject. Do we lose sense on where the little hopper is? Is the hopper's surroundings worth saving if it were in focus? Or just not worth saving because the subject deserves the attention?

Bobbystahr, thanks for the comment. I believe that Depth of Field actually came from the photography world. It's an effect produced by the camera lens.

Thanks again everyone.
