It is so clear and sharp but really invisible.
Good shot.

Hello Radomir,
Very impressive camouflage: even the spots of the tones are copied byt this grasshopper. Very nice picture, very sharp, with a good low POV. I'm curious of your next shots from Syria, a very beautiful country that I visited some years ago (before I was addict to TN and digital nature pictures...). Best regards,
Catherine

Witaj Radomirze,
Doprawdy ciekawy okaz prawie niewidoczny w swoim otoczeniu. Nasze przeciez tez zielone a ciagle posrod traw czynia to samo. Trudno aby zdjecie owada o takich cechach mialo szczegolne wizualne zalety oprocz dobrego technicznego wykonania.
Pozdrawiam, Pawel

Hello Radomir,
You must have good eyes to have seen it. Amazing camouflage, such a good protection for these insects, they just mustn't move..
Fine picture, well framed and with fine natural colors. And anyway I like the Hoppers a lot, for me they are very photogenic.
Thanks and kind regards

Hi Radomir,

Very good demonstration of camuflage. Me pleases the ambient of the picture, the fund is very well registered and the contrast level is perfect. It is a difficult picture and you've done that seems easy!

TFS and happy WE friend!

Hello Radomir,
a very interesting mimicry of this grasshopper like Oedipoda caerulescens or Sphingonotus caerulans, superb sharpness and marvellous colours, excellent POV, DOF and composition.

Hi Radomir,
It took me a few seconds to find this grasshopper. It is well blended to the surrounding. Thanks for this fine example of how species survive. Greetings from the far east.

Hello Radek,

so it's Syria now. You do quite some great trips. The grasshopper picture you brought home is a true beauty. Great animal. I cannot help with ID. A similar looking, big-eyed locust in S-Switzerland is Aiolopus thalassinus. It occurs in the Mediterranean and in the Orient too.
Best regards from Marly,

Czesc Radek!

O, widze, ze teraz sie zacznie :-) Bardzo ladny okaz pustynny, ostry i szczegolowy. Widok z boku to chyba najlepszy wybor przy tego typu zwierzach. Z innych rzeczy - bardzo podobaja mi sie pustynne kolory w tle - szczegolnie ten rdzawy piasek i ciemniejsze kamienie. Zaloze sie, ze maja bardzo ciekawa geneze.

Hello Radomir,
A superb example of insect camouflage! This grasshopper is hard to see even though the sharpness is excellent and taken from a great lateral POV.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hello my friend :)

I hope you are well, too and many thanks for your kind comment on my gallery!
I've been a bit busier than usual lately, and that's why i spent less time here on TN.
I hope you are doing well, too and that all is ok with your studies, work and everything else.

This is a very nice shot from you! It's rare that we see such a great example of camouflage. Indeed the title here work very well since, especially to me (with my colors problems) it would be very difficult to see this little guy in the wild, if he wouldn't move.
The details are excellent - super sharp - and the POV and DOF are spot-on as well.
The fill-in flash is subtle but works very nicely, too.
Overall, an excellent photo complemented by a great info note.

Bravo and TFS
Horia
