I have never seen a grasshopper so tiny and other worldly looking!
Great composition, DOF, and the colors work well together. Great capture mikey! Markjay

Great shot! One which I remember and really like in color too ;) This version is a little softer though, some selective sharpening on the eyes could work.
The composition is most most excellent. Sharp eye seeing such a small hopper on the dandelion pods.

Hi, CJ!! I'm glad to be here and its good to see a few familiar faces, too. It gives another reason to take pix ":^)... Thanks for the comment on the Baby Hopper, I like him too. I took this pic when I had first gotten the Sigma 150mm. I was out for a test run and looked down at this dandelion and there his tiny self was walkin'round, ha! Warm fuzzies, -mikey

Hi Michael! Glad to see you posting these nice images here in CTF too. This is my favorite of your 3 - I can't believe how tiny that hopper is! :-) CJ
