Un très bonne photo, Didier, malgré une profondeur de champ un peu faible. Bel arrière-plan mettant l'insecte en opposition. Note très complète. J'ignore si sa position naturelle était sur ce fruit, mais cela le met bien en valeur.

Hello Didier!
Very nice capture.Lighting is wonderful.I liked clear details,POV and composition very much.TFS...:-)

Great shot Didier!
This has great visual impact. I love the dark BG and the pose of this nice creature. Details are very good and the light excellent.
When I saw it on thumbnail I thought that it is framed a bit to tight, but now I see it's OK.
I like it very much.
WELL DONE!

Belle et intéressante composition macro-photographique bien réalisée pour cette superbe Tettigonia viridissima. Jolies couleurs, bon point de vue et bonne netteté. Merc Didier.

Bonjour Didier,
Cette belle sauterelle verte a été joliment photographiée. L'arrière plan noir la met bien en valeur et les détails sont très fins. J'apprécie également le commentaire clair et complet.
MPLP, cordialement,

Hi Didier, excellent shot! I love the way he is perched on the poppy seed head. It's a fantastic shot I have a minor critisism in that I'd like to see more room above his head. Apart from that very nice.
