Very good capture of the multicoloured grasshopper Sandi. The leaves provide a nice background for the hopper.

Wonderful! You even got his/her shadow on the leaves... I think he/she is looking at you and wondering what that rather large creature is going to do, I mean, should I hop or what?

They look nice in the pictures, but I am scared when they jump. LOL This is wonderful close up.

Lovely work on this Sandi. Clarity is great and your inclusion of the shadow makes the composition balanced.
Just great !!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Grasshopper grasshopper all day long
we hear your scraping summer song
like rusty fiddles in the grass
as through the meadow path we pass
such funny legs such funny feet
and how we wonder what you eat
maybe a single blink of dew
sipped from a clover leaf would do
then high in air once more you spring
to fall in grass again and sing.

/Conrad Potter Aiken/

Great closeup and details...nicely presented too. Congratulations
