Hello Peter. You must have got very close to the subject shooting this image with 35mmFL. Excellent sharpness with vivid detail and no sign of grain at ISO400. Well isolated subject against the silenced background. I like this tight crop image. Well done. Jusni

Hello Peter,
What a fine grasshopper very nicely captured here. Great focus on the eye and the details and colours are nice and clear. Interesting to see the club-shaped leg!

Hello Peter,
A fine macro of this alpine species, the Club-legged Grasshopper, well seen with excellent sharpness on a stone, especially showing the swollen tibia of this male. You have made max. use of the available ambient light to give a good DOF.
Thanks for sharing what must be a new species on TN?
Best wishes, Ivan

Hi Peter,

This is a great close-up of the grasshopper. Image quality is great having sharp details and a very well adapted DOF. Excelent natural colors are rendered as you have made good use of the light.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Peter,

Very good picture of this grasshopper. Excellent POV, DOF and focus. Excellent sharpness and great detail. With the bad weather, the grasshoppers are also very shy this year. I could only see one this year, in Brussel.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hello Peter!
What an original creature! Its legs (1 pair) are especially interesting for me, is it possible that this is a male? (In many beetles males have wide front legs to grasp felames during coputation, but I do not know too much about Orthoptera :>).
Very interesting presentation!
TFS and have a nice evening!

Spot on focus, natural colours and pleasing composition, Peter.
I like the rock on which it is perched; there is veritable synergy between the two.
Thanks and regards.
