Photographer’s Note
I found this grasshopper in my front yard. He was about 2 inches long. Since I took this in the middle of the day, the lighting was harsh and there was a big shadow on this side of the grasshopper. So I used a flash for this picture. It shows how detailed God's creation is. Thanks for looking.

Mr. Grasshopper seems to have a dual personality,
he looks to be a Superhopper :D
judging by the city B/G and the tilt,
good POV and framing,
Cheers,

Hi Kevin
Or, to those of us who believe otherwise, it shows how marvellously Evolution has worked throughout the millions of years. :)
Beautiful macro-with-a-difference, you have moved away from the usual cliche of a safe dark background and given us an idea of how a bug probably views the world. I love it!
Thanks for sharing

I love it. He looks really like a Mr. in his world. The picture is so good, that it can be used in a picture books for the children. Good one.

Wow, I am very impressed with this shot. I think that it is amazing how clear and focused Mr. Grasshopper is! Good choice in blurring the background to make your subject stand out. Well done!
