Hola Hernan,
a great macro portrait of the grasshopper with nice structural details seen on the black surface. Colour contrasts appear a little soft. I prepared a workshop - only some minor modifications - and hope that you will like the results.
Best wishes, Peter

Hola Hernán,

Hello Hernan!
Very unusual colours as for the grasshopper! Black-red combination together with good DOF and POV made this picture very interesting!

Bonjour Hernan,
On dirait un personnage sorti de "La Guerre des Etoiles"! Fascinante sauterelle que tu as bien photographiée. Pour moi une découverte.
Merci de ton image si intéressante
Anne

Hello Hernan,
Wow, that's a detailed portrait! I like the light and the way you managed the black shiny armour of that grasshopper. I wonder how the picture would look if framed vertically and a bit tighter. Anyway, a great contribution.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hola Hernán,
Terrorífico saltamontes por sus colores! Un corte muy atractivo y un aspecto imponente.
Saludos, José M.

Hernan,
I've seen this in Brazil. It is considered a real plague.
They munch almost everything in their sights.
A wonderfully presented subject.
Very well focused. Even the tiny, tiny hairs on its back
and face are distinctly evident.
Love your work. It is, simply put: OUTSTANDING.
Greetings from Canada from Mario.

Hola Hernán mi amigo!
Que ótima foto! Lo inseto parece un monstro! Detalhes magníficos e colores lindas (as de mi equipo de futbal! hahaha) Otro bueno trabajo en su galeria!
Abraço!
Zeca

La obra es tan impactante que me obligo a hacerte un comentario constructivo. Los aficionados como yo a la vida natural y en particular a la vida animal nos encanta poder apreciar al ser en su totalidad. La composición de esta obra es poderosa pero no te olvides de incluir una toma completa para los coleccionistas como yo. Felicitaciones y a la espera!!!

buenos detalles y además en negro por lo q supongo sabes trabajar bien la luz.

Abrazo: J. Ignasi

Hallo Hernan
Please to meet you .This grasshopper looks as if he has been polished for the occasion. I have never seen such a black and red grasshopper in my life. I would have loved to have seen its whole body. Fantastic close up with good detail. I love the fine hair on its body and the massive big black eye. Composition is excellent. An image well presented and worth a big smiley and a delight to look at. Thanks for sharing, it was a first for me.
Kind regards
Anna
