nice shot! need a bit of contrast i think to make the grasshopper more sharpen.

native29  03/07/05 @605

Yeah it'd need more sharpness, but i think You tried your cameras best Very well done, lovely bug, and great capture of the moment it settled on the top of that antenna. Lovely ^-^

Madanapale  03/07/05 @614

Nice dedication to Michele....this is a great capture....I love the colors....the compostion....and It is really funny where you captured it.....Great mood!!

starturtle  03/07/05 @622

very good nice details colors, composition i agree with native29 that it might need some sharpness anyway very good photo

Phryneas  03/07/05 @696

Oh, I don't think it needs much more sharpness - at least none you couldn't accomplish by some action in photoshop. What bothers me a bit is the centered composition - I would cut a bit from the right to get it off-centered.

eremita  03/07/05 @731

I love it this way! Nothing to crit! I love the way almost the background merged with the subject, Great Harmony of colors! Excellent Work!!

Foster  03/07/05 @742

This is a good bug shot! What an interesting hopper, I've never seen one like that. I would like to see a little more sharpness, but that's about it. I'd say it needs more contrast with the background, but I actually like it the way it is.

kittyKat  03/07/05 @767

kick ass!

Fooxoo  03/07/05 @777

Thanks Unfortunately with a 2megapixel cam it is damn hard to make it sharper..... I know I need a new one despirately...

arbaon  03/07/05 @792

Very good shot Edite

Inabottle  03/07/05 @827

Looks like he is hanging on for dear life.. Nice shot... but I think it should be a lil bit sharper, but I understand your limitations with your camera... but its still a nice potograph

eduardobedoya  03/07/05 @839

wow great catch insect have fantastic anatomy All green.

brainstormingin  03/07/05 @873

Great shot. and perfect dedication. Love the colors.May be u can use the robertmekis technique to sharpen a little bit more. good work.

bellas  03/07/05 @927

wow very nice clean shoot i like composition

MsMichelleLynn  03/07/05 @966

Awww Edite. You are so sweet to think of me. Thank you!!!!!!!!! I love it!!! This is a species of Katy-Did by the way. You can tell because it is green and it is flattened laterally. This is a great photo for a girl who doesn't usually do much photography. I'll tell you something ... but it's a secret .... shhhh .... your first bug picture is WAY better than my first bug picture was. Just our secret though OK. <wink> Thanks Sweetheart. You're awesome!!!

ClaraSoto  03/08/05 @150

Every thing is in the right place and focus!!! details and colors are fantastic... congratulations!!!!

Abstractor  03/08/05 @234

Edite, this is really stunning!!!! great job. Keith

ThruMyEyez  03/08/05 @866

This is very good Edite!! The centered composition is fine because you also are using the top left-bottom right diagonal and this works well. I hope you will continue the photographs.

Wysiwyg  03/09/05 @763

I agree with Gary (actually I typed something similar than saw the crit above me *shakes fist at Gary* ) How many shots of the hopper did you take? While a profile shot seems the most obvious (most details/body to see) a head on shot, or a shot from an angle (like the front and right) would be an interesting take. I'm up in the air about the sharpness...I think it's ok, play around with 'Unsharp Mask' in Photoshop, or try the Robert Mekis sharpening technique...I don't have a link right now, but I know  eowyn or Michelle has the link.

Almost-Human  03/09/05 @797

Simply a great image spoiled by the knob. lol 8+

Xris  03/09/05 @806

What a totally amazin' shot! Not often you'll find a lascivious antenna on your antenna +8

Kurlowski  03/09/05 @840

Nice job capturing this edite. I think the tones of the background and the hopper are too similer, causing the hopper not to stand out, but still, a great image.

emarts  03/09/05 @841

This shot is quite humorous. I think I'd like to see a bit more of the antenna (the car's not the bug's) to get a better perspective of what's going on. I't nice to see the bug on the antenna instead of the windshield for a change. Oh, and I like how the background is blurred but you can still see what it is. It really adds to the depth and interest.

filo  03/10/05 @725

Well captured. Maybe it's looking for a new antennae!

ohce  03/11/05 @027

ha, a cute shot~ I love you have captured the way the grasshopper stand on the antenna.... look like every minute he will fall..... so funny.

eowyn  03/11/05 @528

Like it? Naaaahhhh more likely LOVE IT!!! This is way cooler than Michelle's, trust me Edite!!! So awesome...perfect moment 10+ And very good sense of humour you got there

Dax  03/12/05 @531

Aww....it's a funny pose! I like the lines that the grasshopper creates! Nice Edite...very nice!

Andrzej  03/14/05 @545

realy good capture, but unfortunately unfocused... maybe u can fix this ? regards... Andrzej

flowjoe  03/14/05 @595

siffert  04/06/05 @516

Very nice shot!

Storyteller  04/07/05 @903

WWOW! This is a great capture. Very sharp and bright. I just wonder why did you dedicate it to Michelle?

Eleni  04/08/05 @665

ARTOONATOR  04/09/05 @432

Excellent

SeanyD  04/10/05 @560

robdesbois  04/16/05 @071

Very very nice! Can't say anything original so won't say anything except wow, do it again!

Andy--Jones  04/18/05 @778

Great photo that is made better by the unusual location! Nice that you happened on this little incident.

sodakine  04/21/05 @047

This makes me laugh!!! Super! I love it!!!

nod423  04/27/05 @352

Wow, nice capture, very nice color too

Nice macro, focus and colors!! Really well done.. Keep up the good work!! Top marks!

Juro  05/12/05 @772

Great macro shot, see how well he blends into the backround, nice work +8

PuppetMistress  05/14/05 @505

Nice capture and colors! I love the effect of the background in contrast with the grasshoper's sharpness

Unknown visitor  05/26/05 @443

Nice capture, I like the vibrant greens, though the centralized composition bothers me. Perhaps it would work better if tit was captured at a 3/4 angle of the insect

Biter  06/04/05 @600

wow, realy nice - good colors, DOF and shot

levent  06/09/05 @917
