Gorgeous! It looks like I'm the first to comment, but since I type a lot, someone else might pop in first! Oh well...I love this face-on shot. Grasshoppers always fascinate me. Some of them look like well dressed gentlemen with really big vests! This one looks like a leaf with legs! And I love the face, and those little black dots. Superb details and you really managed the light perfectly too! Yeah, Helle, you've got a real winner here. It's funny, too, because I can see this in the pages of National Geographic, and well...THAT in itself is a good thing. This is really marvelous!

Excellent image! Wonderful focus! Great title too! I spent the weekend before last irritating some kind of crickets and katydids in the Texas Hill Country.
