Hi Sumon

This is a fantastic macro from you of this very beautiful Hooded Grasshopper! What a great subject you found here and also a terrific side POV that shows that the crest on its back so well!
The more impressive fact is also that you took this shot with a standard kit lens...i've seen many people taking far worse shots with good, professional macro lenses. My humble compliments for this, too!
Exposure-wise, the photo is lovely, with a good lighting, superb natural colors and great sharpness.

Bravo and TSF

A fine capture of an interesting looking g.hopper Sumon, haven't seen that species before I'm sure. The simple, uncluttered surroundings draw the attention directly to the Hooded G. caught from a lateral aspect in beautiful colours and great detail. I tried to "illuminate" it a little further in my WS, hope you like it MF. Cheers,
Mehmet

A superb capture Sumon!
Not just because this is up to your usual high technical and esthetic standard but because this is a macro an unusual-looking grasshopper that I don't think has featured on TN before.
Congratulations!
This must be difficult to spot in the foliage.
TFS this superb posting.

Hello Sumon,
monumental 3D-like presentation of well camouflaged sturdy grashopper, perfectly recorded from a strictly rectangular approach. With its immaculate composition, its excellent details, beautiful falloff in sharpness at the surrounding leaves, and its delightfully soft natural light this image is a masterpiece of distinctly artistic qualities. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Dear Sumon,
The perfect focus offers so many details, it is difficult to decide where to begin!
Th hooks on the legs nearly look like thorns - I wonder - if they are part of the camouflage?
The eye looks like "stuck-on" button.
The hood is similar to a crisp wafer...

Here in South Africa, we find a multitude of insects, which sport the most odd camouflage attires, and every case is different and interesting.

You have presented us with a most beautiful example of clever insects - they had a long time to evolve!

Enjoy the rest of your week,
Kind regards
Ingrid
