[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first photo with a ...bug or an insect! Well, cause I'm not very good with bugs, I'm not in place to identify this bug! I think it's a kind of grasshopper, but it's not the common grasshopper I know. Can anyone helps?

This shot was taken during my recent trip to Lefkada island for my summer holidays. I took the shot at Etolikon area.

It's a cricket of some kind - Order Orthoptera. It's a pretty good picture but the focus is slipping out on the head adn it would be improved if the feet were in the frame. Welcome to TN Mpampis.

Mpampis, Your picture has an interesting creature on it. Strange long legs. I like long legs but this is very long ;-) Well shot with good sharpness and DOF. I think the DOF range could include a little more of the front of the animal.
Greetings, Jan

Cricket of some sort for sure, love the compo and pink BG!. Try and get the feet all "in". This is also the type of picture that wil work well on a side elevation or view.

Good shot.
Like Callie, I like the pink background.
This cricket is a Metrioptera roeselii, just like the one you just have critiqued.
Well done.
