wow, the patterns on the hopper's body have come out beautifully, is it possible to reduce impact of background to highlight the subject more?

Nice pictures satz... Just one thing, your focus should have been on the grasshopper's face/eyes...

I know how difficult it is, esp when these jumping jackss hop around at will and when you are dead tierd walking uphill.

I never clicked one photograph while trekking up. All my photos are after reaching base camp :)

nice effort

Thanks all :)

@Vasu: I shot this with Close-up filters, Problem with the filters is that while shooting you cant see the subject clearly.. so you don't know where your focused and a slight movement of camera will screw up the picture.
It's worth to invest on Macro/Micro lenses.. but they r damn costly :(

Satz, You know the problem with this picture is that, the focus is locked on to the body than to the head.
