Hi Ulla

Another excellent shot of this very interesting hopper.
Its colors and contrast are indeed amazing and quite unique...al least for TN :)
I like the lighting and seeing him in his natural condition, with this lovely diagonal composition.
Very nicely done!
Bravo and TFS

Amazing how insects adapt to the surroundings for survival, Ulla. The colours on this insect seem to have been determined by the need to camouflage itself against the background of those black and brown lava rocks and soil.
The image is perfect in terms of presentation of the insect's features; the in-focus rocky BG does not distract me.

Hello Ulla,
superb picture of this 'burnt' 'stonehopper'. With respect to its colours it appears well adapted to volcanic ground. I like the colours of both, the insect and the stones. Focus and sharpness are excellent. A beautifully composed picture.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Ulla,
remarkably well captured from large distance, this grasshopper shows clear details all over, subtle colours, and a well developed camouflage to its natural background.
The bright eyes look quite unusual and exotic.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter
