Wow, what a colourful chap, wish we got them in these colours up here ;-))
Razor sharp, good light and colours, good DOF & nice diagonal feel created by the grass bending his way, too.

WOW, Gerhard, this one is great. This looks from another planet, and more with the "foam" feature :D
I am impressed how well that zoom works instead of macro. Great capture. P.D.: and congrats for your 4000´s.

Very interesting shot. I like the parallel lines of the branches in the same direction as the insect itself.

Gerhard, This must be the most "elegant" looking hopper anyone has ever seen. I like the composition with the grass & hopper at this 45 degree angle. Very good sharpness & detail. Congratulations on your benchmark..but who's counting right! ;-))

OK, so the 100 - 400 can be used for close-ups as well. The sharpness and exposure here is excellent. I like the diagonal composition.

Very well done and thanks for posting.

Superb image, Gerhardt! What can I say more that the others didn't say... just that one day, I hope to be able to only approach your talent after I buy my macro lens. Many thanks for sharing this beauty with us.
