Text book beautiful. Only wish he had been on a solid light colored base so you could see everything about his legs and feet. He is georgeous and well photographed. Good solid 9 and almost a 10. Base would have gotten the 10. PTL He actually looks like a prehistoric monster. Great job. The more I look it's a 10 inspite of the grass. You can see his texture on his head, his armour on his neck and his wings. I love his antennae and his legs. Great.
Great color and good focus. Would have done better on a leaf or more solid background. The grass seems a bit too busy and takes away from the awesome subject. DPz
wow. looks like a grasshopper, but he's got blue wings. I like it! you have shown us great detail in this little guy. angle and framing/cropping are good. focus is just perfect in my opinion. lighting conditions seem to have been favorable as well. nice shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
