Ciao Valerie, bell'immagine macro, bei dettagli!
Peccato che lo sfondo sia dello stesso colore.

HI Valérie
This is a most imprressive macro: crisp and clean (like the song of the cricket:) Amazing how I can see every hair on the leg!
Great POV, DOF, and lighting
Best regards

Hi Valerie,
Excellent shot on this big green monster! You did the right thing. Get a great photo and then send him to the neighbors garden to eat their peas. Beautiful colors and sharp detail. Nice frame filling composition shows much intricate detail.

Hi Valerie,
Great shot with very good DOF, sharpness, and detail. I like the compostion with it on the stump, and nicely OOF BG.
Well done and TFS!

Hola Valerie,
No resulta fácil capturar un grillo en tal pose. ¡El animal deber ser muy noble o la fotógrafa ha demostrado una pericia enorme! Los detalles y el color son estupendos. El punto de vista es muy bueno y el palo seco ha situado al animal en un pedestal idóneo para la sesión fotográfica.
Un saludo,

Jolie macro ! Le 18-55mm fait des merveilles quand il est dans des mains talentueuses !!! Tous les paramètres sont bons. Compliments Valérie
PS : je me suis commandé un Sigma 70-300 d'entrée gamme, on verra ce que cela donnera...

Hi Valerie,
This is a big grasshopper, I hope he didn't eat all of your peas!! ;)
Good detail, colours and sharpness. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV. I like the framing. It's a shame the antennae are cut short, but you are right, it is still a shot to be very pleased with.
Howards workshop is very good, and he makes a good point about the natural movement of the eye from left to right when looking at pictures.

Thanks for posting, have a great week.

And of course, I wish France the very best of luck on Wednesday evening ;)

Hi Valerie,
Nice shot of this huge grasshopper. I can't imagine seeing one that size. Excellent detail and colours, perfect exposure and very good use of a shallow DOF. I think the crop is a little tight but a minor nit.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Valerie,
it's a good close-up with nice colours avery good details,

A bit lack of contrast maybe, Howard did a good WS.
Well done.

Hello Valérie!
i like crickets and grasshoppers really! i always look for theme in my garden or any natural places! But in my opinion they are so hard subjects to taking beautifully! No, no, they can be easily photographed but i mentioned about taking beautifully. They are not so photogenic, so i have only a post with grasshopper as a subject! As for the photo, this one is great indeed, despite not so coloured one! pov, pose, soft colours, sharpness, i like all of them :-) Your different subjects are always welcome! Keep it up Valérie :-) Thank you!

Hello Valerie, nice shot. It looks big! Good details and exposure. Hard one to compose with those long antennae and legs, I think you did a good job. Well done.

Hello Valerie,
Good point of view and a well composed presentation!
Your little green friend is captured with sharp fine details, a fine natural colour palette...
DOF is effective and the insect stands out well in spite of the green background!
Greetings,

Hallo Valerie
What a fine looking Great green bush cricket. The detail of this bee is just stunning and a real eye catcher. There is hardly enough space on my screen to make it fit. The detail of the grasshopper's paws, wings and eye is great and its body looks overloaded. The wings itself looks like a leaf and it will be a wonderful camouflage again danger. A wonderful close up and a pleasure to look at. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
