Wow,
These are beautiful creatures - the colors and pattern is spectacular.
Composition is very nice with this couple there.
Maybe cropping a bit from the lower part will put the nymphs in a more central place in the frame.

Hello Haraprasan,
What fabulous Locust nymphs you've captured here! India seems to be a real paradise for insects! Excellent depth of focus here showing very sharp details and fantastic colours. I like your POV and the way they're posing together. Brilliant composition!
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi Haraprasan, splendid couple with great colors, excellent sharpnness and beautiful details, very well done, ciao Silvio

Haraprasan,
This is indeed a GREAT post. They are so very BEAUTIFUL and yet so very dangerous to our food source. I've seen locust in swarms,when in India. They settled on a field and ate everything within minutes.
Well controlled colours.
A lovely presentation.
Regards, Mario.

Hello Haraprasan

Superb! The colors are lovely, the POV and DOF are great.

Very well done

Hi Haraprasan,
Wonderful shot of the Locust's nymphs with amazing colours and sharpness. They look so gorgeous. Where have you found them, on the Mahanadi river banks (Ring Road)? I would love to see them with my own eyes. Perfect lighting and focus. Excellent POV to portray them and a superb composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi HP!
Thanks for linking me up with your previous posts of this locust. I have already responded to your picture of mating locusts of this species.
Now I realize my first picture in India happens to be of an insect which I had already seen in your post.
The nymphs of this species you have posted today are brilliantly captured. superb focus and rich colours.
TFS and regards.

Amazing capture of a pair of locust nymphs, their colouring patterns caught sharply and from a fine POV to give a good DOF against a suitably blurred green BG.
Nice to see!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Haraprasan,
Really beautiful insect! Wonderful pose, perfect details and fascinating colours.
TFS, José M.

Hi Haraprasan.
The species you show are always amazing, this one looks as if they where designed by a psichodelic artist :)
In question of colours, taste is very important, and also the way each one of us see the world, which is not the same.
Nevertheless I dared a fast workshop, hope you dont mind.
Regards, Felipe.

The colors and design are outstanding! I never saw them before! What strange creatures!
