[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We found this beautiful and fairly huge Grasshopper in Omkar hills. Arjun must have already posted the picture of the same specimen.

Here i tried to emphasizes on the directional space and the diagonal composition. The lighting was bit diffused due to overcast condition and I made the best use of it.

I'm not sure of the exact ID and any help is welcome ;-)

Happy Clicking,
Goutham R

Hello Goutham!

Perfect result of your tries. Diagonal composition and quality of picture are superb. Razor sharp with lots of details and fantastic BG. Really great macro.

Hello Goutham,
Excellent macro of this 'macro' grasshopper.
The white markings on the joints of the hind- legs show well and seem to be some sort of signalling mechanism.
Technically and artically this is great and taken from an good POV, though the lighting has caused a little too much reflection on the hind wings that might have been better if you had altered the shooting angle a little, something we often see after the event!
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hi Goutham
A well focused and composed shot of this Grasshopper.
The colours are vibrant and well saturated.
Very well exposed and illuminated.
The details and textures of the hopper are very good.You have a wonderful eye level POV.

Hello Goutham,
a splendid picture of this Grasshopper of the Acrididae family (sorry, i do not know exactly the ID), very good sharpness and very beautiful natural colours, i like the nice diagonal composition with a very good OOF BG.

Hello Gouttham,
Very interesting species which in my country don't occur. Sharpness is splendid, the insect against smooth BG look very attractive.

Hello Goutham,
Light, colours and sharp details are really impressive. Through the lightfall the focus is a bit too much on the wings instead of the head. The contrast against the dark OOF BG is very beautiful. Excellent diagonal composition.

Peter

Hi Goutham.
Blameless close-up with tremendous details of the beautiful grasshoppers and so impressive twig. I like all components of true photo art including razor sharpness of the image, great lighting, vibrant colours and terrific BG, excellent composition and impressive POV. Thanks a lot and kind regards.
Alexei.
