A fine macro-shot of an adult Anacridium specimen in its prime from a good lateral POV in perfect focus and exposure Krzysztof, would also be delighted to see the whole g.hopper in another posting, if possible...
Cheers,

Hello Krzysztof,

You have made a very good close-up of the grasshopper showing it in great sharpness and fine light. You have chosen a well adapted DOf therefore the whole insect is in focus and very good details of body surface can be observed. The soft light was well used too showing such a recahness of gray color tones.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Krzys,
A technically first class macro of the front half of an Egyptian grasshopper, in this case a very dark grey specimen. The lighting, composition and OOF BG are superb.
TFS this fine image,
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Krzysztof.
I like the close-up of a very interesting specimen. We have a bit different species in our places. Magnification is great as well as terrific details of the insect. I welcome framing of the image and well light absolutely smooth BG. Kind regards and all the best.

Czesc Krzys,
To co mi sie podoba: dobra ostrosc, ladne odwzorowanie detali, dobre naswietlenie.
To co mi sie nie podoba: kadrowanie (moim zdaniem moglbys ta fotke skadrowac ciasniej i zrobic bardziej portetowe ujecie - bez skrzydel), bardzo jasne tlo ktore troche dezorientuje bo odciaga wzrok od ciemniejszego zwierzaka.
Serdecznosci!

Pozdrawiam i czekam na nastepna fotke!

Hi Krzysztof

Welcome back, my friend! I hope you had a great trip with your (and my) zoologist friends and i as already told Radek it would be nice if we could all meet next year sometime on one of your trips to the south - wither in Romania or farther south. I hope that sounds interesting :)

Anyway, this is a very interesting capture as well!
Excellent close-up here with terrific details and a great attention to the texture of this fellow. However, most of all i think i like its eyes - with those long stripes...they attract so much attention :)
Very good DOF and exposure, too and a good note and links on top of that.

Bravo and TFS
Horia
