[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was a rainy summer morning. Sky was covered by clouds and drops of water from last rain were hanging on plants leafs. No insects were flying over the garden.
While walking through the lucerne (Medicago sativa) there were only grasshoppers jumping away.

On a leaf, low on the plant, I hardly saw the grasshopper. Insect’s colors were similar with leaf’s color. Due to the cold rainy morning grasshopper did not seem willing to move. This gave me time to put on my camera the right angular viewfinder and frame the picture. So I got this grasshopper portrait.

Hello Cristian,
This is a very nice capture of this little Grasshopper in a fine composition. Great focus on the eye and I like the colours and the soft background.
