Nice shot Luc, well composed. But the Grasshooper is a little UE. Using the flash could have been good.
Well done.
TFS.

Great shot Luc!
It is a bit UE but I think the composition is perfect and there's no need for croping. This anemone flowers in BG add something great to the whole, so they shouldn't be cutted.
Perfect details and nice summer mood.
I like the photo very much.
WELL DONE!

Great title and great pose! The low POV works very well and the composition is great. Well done on the details Luc. The white and slightly OE patches of BG are a little distracting, but it's still a great photo. Very well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

I love the title, and you've got me singing it now Luc :) Just as well you can't hear me.
This is a good shot, very well composed with the grasshopper on the balloon. I agree with Pam - Jiminy Cricket. Well done.

Luc, he is wonderful, and the photo is delightful.
It is a good thing that his balloon is tethered, otherwise the slightest breeze could send him hurtling through space!
Then Grzegorz would spot it in his camera (or Joanna's), take a photo, and tell us that he found an unusual planet, shaped, would you believe it, like a cricket on an anemone bud!!!
Thank you for sending my imagination into space this morning. ;-)
This is a great photo, good details, interesting BG, wonderful subjects.
Thank you for sharing it with us, and it looks as though your S2 will be bringing us some very special photos...

Il a l'air d'avoir conquit le globe ce joli criquet. Malgré une couleur assez forte le contraste est très bon
Bien joué

It is so nice to see this results in your hands with the new camera Luc. :)

This is a very impressive composition. Two strong points of interest. Nice DOF and sharpness.

I always struggle with these photos with dark subject and bright sky in the BG. I think if you raise the camera an inch or two at a downward angle the brighter sky would have been out of the frame and it would be easier to expose the darker areas.

It not a nit just something I found usefull in doing macro work in these conditions. I think you did great with the exposure. Very well done, MF. ;)

Je constate que Luc maîtrise déjà le Canon S2 ;-) Belle composition pour cette sauterelle sur l'anémone. Jolies couleurs et bonne nettété.

Hello Luc, UE aside, you have a great eye for composition my friend. I like your theme very much. Great details, excellent POV. Well done, yes, I like it! P.S. I would agree that photography is the most interesting of pastimes..I would have to say that for me though, it is much more than an "amusement" or "pastime" - it is my obsession!!
