I do like the second version...getting rid of the leaf definitely improves the picture...
I don't think it is too sharp...I like how you almost got a 3D-effect...at least in my opinion...

Excellent detail. The sliver of leaf in No.1 didn't worry me, its all part of the environment and I didn't think it intruded much. Like Mike-P I prefer the processing in No. 1, the modified version seems a tad overdone.

Can I agree with all of the above. Just one point, looking around the internet, the pattern in the eye might suggest a locust rather than a cricket, but I'm no entomologist.

Excellent shot!
He looks very smug. Too full of orange leaves to jump away methinks.

It's certainly not a locust but my general (cricket) ID might also be inaccurate. The eye is actually very similar to that of an Egyptian Grasshopper, which we get lots of here and they are commonly misidentified as locusts, though the body colouring and wing shape is wrong.

I stand corrected.

Totana,
Spain.
I can't find this one in my Boy's Bumber Book of Bugs, so if you know, do tell. The apparant yellow streak down it's back is actually late afternoon sun.
K20D(#2), SMCP DF-A 100mm Macro, AF540FGZ (AF160FC is deceased) with Sto-Fen omnibounce (handheld off-camera + wireless P-TTL) 1/80th / f13 / ISO100.
Processed in Lightroom 3.2, cropped, small amount of sharpening, with extra sharpening using the adjustment brush of the eye.
C&C welcome.
