Hello Ricardo,

I cannot understand why your photograph has had such little attention!
It is a very sharp exposure of the grasshopper in every way!
The composition, the insect positioned diagonally across the frame, is fine and the colours are very well saturated.

Sometimes, people don't see the skill!!!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
Sorry, I thought I had one smiley left!

Hello Ricardo,

As Bev (Royaldevon) has said, I am surprised that more people have not critiqued this lovely photograph. This amazing and colourful grasshopper is much bigger than anything we see in Britain. Just looking at your photograph it looks to be about 8 cm or more in length - is that right?

Your photograph is amazingly clear and sharp but to me it looks just a little dull. So I've done a very quick workshop for you in an attempt to lighten it a little - I hope you don't mind. Otherwise a beautiful close-up photograph of this beautiful creature!

Lovely!

Kind Regards,

John.
