Great macro work. He looks as if he is a warrior in armour with that steely blue colouring.
Guest 26-Oct-2005 12:19
Aha! great macro again Steve. It's like that he intendedly posed on the camera.. :o)
Normally grasshoppers are green.. is it the grass at your place blue? :o)))))
Voted! :o)

Yes, it must be something like that ;) An other awesome macro, Steve! Great details and colours! Love the DOF too. A vote from me!

This proves it: you feed them with something strange to keep them still and that has an effect on the colour ;-) Awesome detail with an excellent composition.

Yep, one of your 5 best,
Can almost see him munching on the grasses. How DO you do it??
Buz Kiefer26-Oct-2005 02:50
I don't see a pin in him so what is your secret in getting so close? Glue?

Wonderful macro Steve.
