Catch grasshopper outside, wait for him to calm down, catch grasshopper inside, catch grasshopper again, repeat last step seventy-five times, then...
Crop, Curves, clone out lots of dust on my new lens *sigh*, slight Lucis, NI, Sharpen, border, Burn highlights a tad, Save for Web
I held a piece of white posterboard up with my other hand to make the reflection be cleaner. I don't have a studio and the room was a mess all reflected (and in real life). Mr. Grasshopper didn't really mind the posterboard which was weird.
Natural window light only, with me standing to make less glare on Mr. Grasshopper.
I don't know why I enter these Free Studys... the level of expertise is way out of my range. But... I just can't seem to stop myself. *grin*
I'd love to break my FS record: 6.1074
Someday... *sigh* |

| I am surprised this scored so low. definitely underrated probably because it wasn't too DPC friendly. Definitely should have scored higher , love this shot!! |

| Nice image but the processing makes it look like two separate images have been combined together when I'm sure that's not the case. It's the dark halo around the insect that particularly looks "wrong". But compositionally I like it. |

| The edges of the grasshopper are a little soft compared to his other details. |
