@dj.tigersprout: Thank DJ, you are very kind... bowing ot my grace.. now that is hilarious! ;o)
Perfect depth-of-field with no discernible room for error. I love how everything is soft focus except the forelegs and torso. Fabulous, Kylie.

@Stephen Phillips: Thank you Stephen, such lovely comments and very much appreciated.
Macro juste , par contre tu ne pense pas que le diaphragme étais un peut grand comme ouverture, pour avoir plus de netteté sur les pattes d'arrière. Siam

@Siam: Thank you Siam :o)
Great specimen Kylie and what a great macro... he's got a terrific attitude !

@zOOm: Thanks zOOm, I thought he had great attitude also... he hung out on my rose bush for about 3 days and seemed to change his colour to blend with the reds in the new leaves, amazing little fellow! Thanks for stopping by!
WOW! Splendid macro indeed! the colours and details and DOF are EXCELLENT! I like the POV too!
Really well done! Congratulations!

@Erik: Thanks Erik!
Wow Kylie, he is a stunning creature and I'm sure he would be really proud of his portrait. The colours are so warm and he looks like a really friendly guy. Beautifully captured!! Excellent macro and you deserve a big pat on the back for that one....BRAVO!!

@Linerberry: You're a funny girl, thanks Liners, always so lovely to recieve your support and encouragement! Thanks my friend!
Its hard not to put anthropomorphic attributes here, but this grasshopper has the poise of determination in its stance.

Very cool..... the details are tremendous.
5 Aug 2008 10:25am
WELL DONE kY. THAT LITTLE FELLA WOULD BE PROUD OF HIS PORTRAIT . you have capture the beauty of God's design in this common grasshopper, this shows that this little creature is NOT common

That's a great macro, Kylie! The DoF adds some fantastic impact to the image!

They are pretty cute when they are close up, nice composition

Terrific DOF ... lovely palette of colors ... great light ... top-notch macro, Kylie! Interesting that you can see its shadow being cast ... very nice.
5 Aug 2008 3:34pm
Great DOF sounds cheesy, but it really is a great one! Good job:)

Nice macro work. Wonderful color and detail.
5 Aug 2008 5:11pm
Look so different from this angle! Really great shot, nice detail :)
5 Aug 2008 6:44pm
Well done. Excellent perspective and detail.

@Monique: They are indeed! Thanks for stoopping by Monique!
very entomological accurate shot, what stuck me is the transparency of the cuticule you get so successfully

@kerfendal: Thank so much for your lovely comment Kerfendal!
This is a beautiful shot, Kylie. You've caught him/her in a really nice moment. I know it's very difficult to get good DOF in a macro shot, but I think I would have gone for a much higher ISO and smaller aperture to try to do so. Who am I to say, though, as I could never get this far, anyway, and furthermore, what I've suggested may not even fit in with your intentions here. It's lovely, anyway!

@Andrew Gould: Thanks Andrew, this image was taken hand held in literally the frist two hours of having the new lens...so I was just practising, have learned heaps since then :o). Thanks for stopping by!
Simply fabulous. The dark patch of background sure makes it stand out.

great shot - makes me want to go out right now and do some macro! of course it is 2 am... hmmm. (thanks for the image and inspiration, though!)

Grasshopper :) I was always amazed by them :) And I have to admit it is a very good shot of one.
