Hanging Around Photo

Photographer’s Note

I shot this little guy with my Nikon Coolpix 950-adjusted the colors slightly in photoshop to try and bring out the real color of its skin :o) Never knew that the back part of its rear legs were in fact red in color :o) Enjoy! Nothing like macro digital photography hehe

Great Macro. Colors and DOF are ok.

Beautiful capture of this little Chorthippus parallelus, great details and colours, good DOF, just a pity you've cropped off the tip of the antennas. Judging from the tip of the tail pointing upwards, however, this is not a guy but a gal ;-)) The males have straight tails - and they're smaller than the females.

I like your choice of title. Interesting since these creatures are so destructive - won't leave my Clivia's alone!! I like the way the flowers create a top and bottom border. Nice work!

Hi George. Great macro, including the little pink flowers on the bottom of the shot. Grasshoppers are fascinating creatures. I wish we could see the entire antenae though. Other than that it is very well captured and I love the clarity.

Excellent macro George, I like the bottom, it is beautiful the combination of the colors of the bottom. I wanted to accompany this pretty cricket for this way to be able to observe and to enjoy the beauty what there is up. Cordial greetings. *Ninfa Urania*
