hi Peter,
c'est un portrait que l'on ne peut pas manquer, même en vignette. Très bons détails et couleurs denses. Un peu plus de profondeur de champ et c'est encore meilleur.

Hallo Peter,
aus TN springt er mir mitten ins Gesicht, Dein mittelamerikanischer Riesenheuschreck. So nahe ran wie möglich - der Wahlspruch amerikanischer Reportagefotografen - bewährt sich, und auch ohne Blitz glitzert im Schatten der Blätter der glatte Panzer aus Chitin. Ausdrucksvoll und eindrucksstark! Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

Hi Peter,
A masterpiece in composition and gesture! The way it looks to us is really eye-catching. Great details, colours and owesome "eye-contact"!

That's very impressive for a non-flash macro considering how dark it tends to be in the rainforests. You may be right about depth of field, but the eyes and the mouth draw the attention right away, and one does not really search for detail elsewhere. Very well done. Regards,
Hakan

Hi Peter.
the pose and POV is great, the hopper looks really angry
and show us the big teeth ;-)
The Dof is maybe a bit shallow but the face is sharp.
Well done.

Hallo Peter,
ein sehr schönes Portrait eine Riesenhüpfers zeigst Du uns hier. Gratulation! Sehr gute Bildgestaltung - also formatfüllend den kompletten Platz genutzt! Tadellose Schärfe und auch akzeptable Tiefenschärfe! Insgesamt ein sehr gutes Makro.
Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende.
Gruß

Hi Peter

What an amazing macro work!
Taking into considerration the condition of lighting in a rain forest and that you didn't use a flash on this one, the result is nothing far from fantastic!
The DOF - although a bit shallow - works alright in concentrating all the attention on the grasshopper's head.
The details and textures are wonderful and very sharp, the natural colors are lovely and the close-up level impressive.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Peter,

Very good macro of this grasshopper remembering me the Tropical Giant Grasshopper (Tropidacris sp). Great details of the face and excellent colors and exposition even within the tropical forest where light is poor...!

Good pic and TFS,

Michel

Hello Peter!
I really do not know how I could overlook this beautiful portrait :) Detaisl are just amazing and the "face" looks fantasctic.
This species has to look interesting from the profile as on this picture the interesting sjape of its thorax is seen.
TFS and best regards,
Radomir

Hello Peter,

What a great macro shot. A bit creeping so in front of me. He is a bit smiling (-: What a fine details. Sharp. Natural colours. Perfect POV, Good BG. Only one remarks from me. It was maybe better that the light came from the front and not from the rightside. You lighted up the hole head. Maybe PP can do something?? Regards and TFS Bob
