Thank you. Yes - isn‘t it remarkable how these little creatures look up close?

Amazing quality. Maybe just one little improvement... I would lightly reduce the exposure of the head a bit. Not much... just a bit.

 

[Vimes]

Thank you! The whole head? Wouldn’t that make it too dark? Or did you mean the highlights?

 

[Helix_2648]

Yes, you're right. I meant the highlights. Sorry... my fault.

I made another grasshopper picture and tried to avoid blowing out the highlights ... but the white elements of the grasshopper always stick out:

Your opinion? - Another grasshopper ...

This is the third try to get a picture of a (living) grasshopper - I am not too sure about the color composition (that green/blue combination) but I like the sharpness. Not every inch is perfectly sharp but without stacking this is what comes out using f16. EDIT: The picture has been taken in...
