Hi Luis!

I like the humerous touch you gave this picture. The purists among us may not be so happy, but sometimes looking at things with a big smile is not only good, but also necessary. Moreover, your picture is joy- and colourful and the insects are in perfect sharpniss showing rich details.

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Luis,
you have captured this grasshoppers in a very funny and nice pose. It's well exposed with fine natural colours.
Good sharpness and fine DOF, the subject standout well from the BG.
Maybe the composition is a too central but that's personal.
Well done.

Regards
Gert

Hallo Luis
I am a lover of any beautiful photograph being insects, birds, sunset, wildlife, flowers, waterfalls and what so ever. Nature is so stunning that one cannot but love the sight of any of it, and your image is a proof of it. The details on this pair of hoppers is soooooooooooooo beautifully displayed. I like the centered composition and the fact that the subject nearly fits into the entire frame. This is a striking macro, with lots that can still be said about the lovely features. Best regards.

Hi,

Tio,

El comentario esta bueno, pero la foto esta genial! despues de leer el resto de los coemntarios no me queda mas que alagar mas que la paciencia que tienes en esperar estos momentos!

Preciosa Luis.
Enfoque y luz rozando la perfección.
Los colores una delicia y la pose muy conseguida.
