[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I could’ve tried a different composition, but, by doing so, I would “sacrifice” the insect’s antennae.

The creature was very close to the ground. In order to shoot, I had to rotate the monitor and to point the camera to the sky. When I saw the sky and the clouds on the monitor, I thought that what was supposed to be a disadvantage (the fact the insect was very close to the ground) became the possibility of a different point of view. I hope you like it.

Once more, I was at Mocambo Park.

Works for me Livio the grass hopper looks almost moulded out of plastic it is so shiney.
well done with the antenae both the lenght and the amount they move make them very difficult to get into any sort of focus and these are well seen , so well done and TFS.

I really like your composition, Livio. There is such a good balance... the geometric lines of the wheat shaft next to the puffy fluffy clouds, the stoutness of the plant, next to the delicate thinness of the antennae. The antennae are amazing... so long... and you caught them intact. They were definitely worth saving. The details are super sharp.
Just beautiful colors and again... excellent composition. TFS. : )

Very original, the position of the bug. The background is absolutly wonderful. Well done.

Great Shot! A very interesting perspective...composition,framing,color,and detail..superb..

Just wonderful.

Great choices you made on this shot, Livio. The diagonals work really well. The colors are nicely saturated and the DOF is amazing. The fill flash is also a good idea, I don't use it enough.

Halo Livio!
The sky - this is masterpiece! And the gras.... I love this shot!

Very nice capture, good POV, great colours and details.
Well done.
TFS.

What I like in your shots, Livio, is the art of composition on top of high quality images and the essential natural element. Generally, it appears already on the thumbnail, and when you open it, it's a pleasure for the eyes. So, this is no exception. A superb image, very well composed and framed. Congratulations.
