Hi
I found this big grasshopper in a Botanic Garden here in São Paulo, he's so big that I didn't use the macro to shot it!! and about less than one meter of distance.
It's a very beautifull insect of the families Locustidae(or Acrididae) and Tettigoniidae often destructive to plants and characteristically having long hind legs adapted for jumping.
I just crop a bit and rotate the photo to a better vision of it.
I hope you enjoy it.

Unusual POV and great depth of field on this shot. Composition may be a bit centered, but that is really a nit. Thanks for sharing.

A very sharp image of this grasshopper. Fantastic POV and colors.
I notice that his back leg is raised against his wings (?), which is a rather unusual posture to see grasshoppers in. I wonder what he was doing? Is that how they produce their sounds?
A very interesting shot, Tabajara. TFS. : )

Ficou uma foto muito bonita... principalmente pelo mimetismo do gafanhoto.
Também com nitidez e contraste.
Eu faria um pequeno corte para descentralizar o 'gafa'... He... He...

You should be proud of the shot, the detail is superb and you have clearly distinguished the subject from the surroundings, thats is hard to do in this case, really excellent photography!

Tabajara, tenho a impressão de que esta é uma de suas melhores fotos que vi até agora.

A nitidez é excelente. Também gosto muito dos tons de verde e da composição.

Um belo trabalho.

Hola Taba, Una foto impecable. Me encanta. Los colores, detalles y punto de vista estan perfectos. Las alas desplegadas le dan un toque original. Ricos detalles de un bello insecto. Felicidades por el buen trabajo! Gabriel
