[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These two were quite happy to stay still for this shot (don't think they were going anywhere for a while) ...
When the female has fertlised eggs she burrows a hole in the soil with her adbomen and lays them there.

Hello Matthew,
Wonderful photo of this colourful grasshoppers. Excellent colours, sharpness and low POV. The BG is a bit busy. Very good composition.
Regards,
Peter

Matthew

What magnificent colours with top clarity, no wonder they both have grins on their faces !

Hello Matthew,
your picture shows this colorful grasshopper couple very well.
Great depth of field, exact focus and pretty good sharpness.
Details are nicely reproduced and clear.
The species is possibly Zonocerus elegans or a close relative of this species.
Best wishes, Peter

hola Matthew, una fotografia bien compuesta, con preciosos colores y muy bien la luz. Un saludo desde Palma de Mallorca

Hi Matthew, incredible color details on these hoppers and well seen at this low pov and by your fine camera work. Tail ends are a bit OF, they must have been moving a bit, haha. Nicely composed and exposed. Tfs Richard

Superb technical details with outstanding sharpness, clarity and exposure.
Most wonderful details and pose of the mating Grasshoppers.
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

What amazing colors and patterns on these two mating grasshoppers.
Great moment caught.
Excellent exposure and focus.
The details on the face are fantastic, and I really like those tiny wings that seem so disproportionate, and those bulging red eyes.
TFS. : )

Hello Matthew,

Very nice sharp picture of these colourful grasshoppers. Splendid colours. The background is not soft enough, I think. I tried a WS to improve it and I tried not to affect the sharpness of the grasshoppers.
Cheers,
Mariki
