hi michel,
this is a lovely capture, very impressive presentation of the largest grasshopper, this shot has very lovely colour tones,I liked the shades of the bg very much, the composition is lovely, i liked the way you have framed the shot, sharpness of the image is very good, nice point of view, good dof,
i miss the leg of this insect & think that the gross hopper must be missing it too.looks like the insect had a tough time & has survived some attack?
well done,
tfs & regards

Hello Michel,
That is one big grasshopper :) The composition and the clarity of the photo is great. The colors are so vivid and I also liked the bokeh. The subject is pin sharp and the exposure is spot on.

Well done,
Ahmet

Bonjour Michel,
Document très bon, je n'ai jamais imaginé un langouste? tellement grand de 5 pouces. La seule chose ce qu'il pourrait te recommander est que tu écrives aussi les mesures en système métrique décimal, qui est utilisé presque dans tous les pays, sauf trois. Je te remercie que tu l'aies publié, il est très utile pour mon.
Amitiés
Hernán

I like the composition of this picture - the dynamics of the lines of composition make the picture interestng. Add on the sharpness, focus, DOP and sharpness equals a picture as what you have captured so well.

Hello Michel,
this giant grasshopper looks really peaceful and sweet in these marvellous colours of tropical splendour.
I like the soft light, and the diagonal leaves of palm trees in the foregrond and the back make an excellent composition.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter

Hello Michel,
Awfully sorry for my late reaction to your kind words on the picture of a Skipper I posted a couple of days ago.
This is a wonderful picture of the giant grasshopper you shot in Venezuela. I am stunned to know about its size.
The picture is sharp, colorful and beautifully presented.
Best regards,
Ram

Hi Michel

Even with its one leg missing, I am sure it can still hop a whopper since the remaining leg seems quite ample for the job. On an up-scaled version this hopper would probably make Arnold Schwarzenegger rather jealous.

I like your composition with the upside-down insect snugly on the diagonal. The OOF and well isolated BG makes the subject jump (sorry for the pun) out of picture. The exposure was perfectly spot-on, the colours are well saturated, and the details are just great

Very well done MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot
