Comment from Dick Lee Shia
I gave you a bonus star for that very friendly, amusing and inspiring title. I could even give this my perfect rating had the appendages not been abruptly cropped!
Its quite cute to note that two of our greatest artists are promoting each others identity instead of competing with each other.
No intimidation. No crab mentality. No narrow-mindedness when I review their works. Some artists I reviewed here during my first few weeks, gave me trauma & nightmares. Some are strict.
Well anyway, this shot is so green & fresh. I hope this macro will also show us its feet.
Thanks for sharing. Lets maintain the friendly nature of this site. I paid for 6 months and two years!!

OMG! Looks as though he is about to jump at me! Amazing clarity and focus you have achieved in this. The light, colours and the composition have worked well. I don't know if he is cricket or not, but he sure is ugly!:) Thaks for sharing!

It sure looks like a cricket or a close cousin. Very good focus, frame and exposure on this green one to show all the Jairos details. Well done.

Amazing photo. He almost looks unreal. Amazing how pretty a grasshopper can be. Don't believe I've ever seen what their head looks like before.
