NPN has moved to naturephotographers.networkYou’re viewing the read-only archive of the original site (2000–2018). The community is active today, with new critiques and discussions every day.
Weather in Ireland this summer has been appalling. So good photo days have been few and far between. Managed to get out a few days ago and got this Hopper. No idea of species. I think it could be the Common Field Grasshopper. Canon 20D, Sigma 150mm, Ringflash tripod.
A nice image of a Field Grasshopper ( Chorthippus brunneus), perhaps a shade tight for me, but that is personal, nicely done.

Hi Michael
A good image of this insect. Whilst the background is fine a more diffuse background would help to seperate the subject a bit from the background and give the image a bit more impact.
