 I knew today I wanted to take a picture of our roses because they will be gone soon with fall fast approaching. While I was outside talking to T-Mobile about our crappy service, I noticed this little guy in the middle of one of the roses. I immediately went inside to grab my professional tripod. I say professional because my husband, mad_brewer, likes to tease me about my professional tripod being that I have such a small camera. (See picture below of my tripod.) I adjusted the tripod to it's highest height and then switched my camera to macro and came out with a pretty nice shot of this grasshopper. I made sure to point out to mad_brewer that if it weren't for my professional tripod and its height I wouldn't have gotten the picture. *Secret* I think he has tripod envy...hehehehe

You couldn't have found more perfectly contrasting colors if you had tried. I like how the grasshopper and the leaves are the same green. The rose looks beautiful against the dark background.

WOW! Great colors & textures & talk about perfect timing! Is that a grasshopper or a katydid (Katydid - Wikipedia)?
I'm definitely glad you had your professional tripod so you could get this shot, it is beautiful!

I am totally having a passionate love affair with my "professional" tripod, but my husband gave it to me so he can't complain or even tease me about it, bwa ha ha ha! I love that you included a photo of yours.

What a serendipitous capture, with the grasshopper in the rose! I like the contrasting colors.

Great image! The color combination in this pic just really stands out. I like that. It's cool how his color is almost perfeftly matched with the green of the flower leaves. Just a cool pic overall!

Fabulous capture! I love the limited palette of deep red and green with the black background. Mr. hopper who is so beautifully green and well lit to boot is perfectly framed in that velvety rose. Hubby can tease away (I'm used to similar teasing) but who cares when the result is this!

Great shot. He matches the leaf color so perfectly, and the contrast is just right. Your dark background make the rose pop.

Yes, this is a perfect macro of that little fellow, and I love how his colors compliment that vibrant red so well. And hey, you don't even need to respond about the tripod. . . your end result speaks volumes in your defense, right? :) This is awesome!

Beatiful capture. I love the velvety look of the petals and the contrast and framing of the grasshopper is wonderful.
