Rose Hopper

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted October 28, 201336 views4 comments

This green Katydid on a pink rose seemed ready to take "a giant leap" to the red rose in the oof background.

Please see the large version.

Thanks for taking a look. Your comments are appreciated.

Sanjay ..a nice attempt here ...and liked the contrast in color here. The larger version seems to have less clutter in the BG which is very nice...

Sure like the color contrast of this green hopper (possibly a katydid?) against that nice pink rose. The antennae show up best in the larger version. Nicely seen.

Thanks Mark. Yes, it is a Katydid. I've corrected the post.

I like the contrast provided by the pink rose, Sanjay. I also like the perspective. It does look like its ready to jump into the abyss.
