[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Friends, just to mark my presence once in a while, here is a picture of what looks like a Painted Grasshopper to me.
This is, as usual, from my archives of last year. I have not picked up my camera for nearly two months now. There is no time for photography anymore.
Still, once in a while, I steal a peak at TN and miss it terribly.
Thanks for looking, if you do.

Hello Ram
mai vista una cavalletta simile. La sei riuscita a ritrarre in tutta la sua bellezza sfruttando a pieno la profonditŕ di campo con un'eccellente messa a fuoco che ne mette in risalto tutti i bellissimi colori e dettagli. Ottimo lavoro.

Guten Tag Ram,

Happy to see that you posted a picture again! And a very special one with this colorful Grasshopper,a creature we cannot see around here. Fine and efficient decentred composition, beautiful natural colors and excellent sharpness. And I really hope that you can pick up your camera again! It must be quite hard otherwise. I just had this terrible feeling as I was sick for several weeks and was too weak to go outside.
I hope you are fine and send you "herzliche Grüsse"
Anne

A wonderful treasure from your archives Ram!
It's a good thing that you have your archives to resort to when you are too busy to take new pics.
This is a fine capture of this Painted grasshopper, its colours showing that it is an unequivocal supporter of the Swedish teams in the sporting world!:))
The POV, the technical and esthetic qualities are excellent.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hello Ram,
a very nicely composed presentation of a grasshopper coming with striking warning colours. A pretty and very efective marking of your presence here. A plasure to see such works from your archives. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter
