Yeah... I think folks will know this is mine. *sigh*
I hope they don't vote me down because of it.
He's just so adorable, I couldn't resist shooting him for the triptych.

No cold or other measures were done to make this fellow hold still.
So, he didn't. *sigh* He was a quick one... but I was quicker. LOL!
I don't have Topaz... it's Lucis Arts... and really not much of that.
Post challenge: Melethia, how do I get them to hold still? I don't. He moved around so much... it's a patience thing, I guess.
With toads/frogs, I don't mind picking them up and putting them back where I want them to be. But, this guy has spikey things that grab hold. I did NOT like that feeling on my hand at all. He hops really well. *sigh* I had him in my light tent, so he wouldn't escape into my bedroom. So, I just sort of scooted him over. Quickly. Before he had a chance to touch me again. :)

Ean and I were going thru these photos yesterday and we got to this one and he said "cooool!" He laughed at the grasshopper butt (typical boy!). Great clarity and lighting. Congrats on 6th place!
just brilliant .. love the way you've got him on the white background so he stands out and there arent any other distractions .. he's a very handsome chap and you've combined the images perfectly to show it .. !! .. congrats on your 6th place ..
insects rule .. !!!!!..:)
So how DO you get these guys to pose so well? Textbook. Seriously, these belong in a textbook on insects. But they're really way cuter than most textbook photos.
The background should have been blue, because I suspect he was cold to be sitting like this for you to take these pictures. Just an excellent entry, great color, focus and tone. This would normally do incredibly well, but this is a tough group of entries.
Hi Lydia! I can always tell which one is yours. Almost all of your shots have the same quality to them. So what happened here? Did the toads escape? lol
