Nice shot.
That's nicely caught Brian.
Super detail throughout! You might consider darkening the light spots just a bit in the BG below his legs? I'm guessing you like the blue dot ;-). Your title is very generous to grasshoppers.
Brian,
You are really producing some nice imagery whether it is called "micro", "macro", or close up
+1 to Richard's comment, I like watching your images
Thanks for the feedback. When i first joined CiC I was asked 'what type of shots do you want to take?' More or less I answered 'shots that people like to look at'. With a lot of help from CiC it seems I am getting there.
Ps.
I've no idea how the blue are got there but yes I do like it. Though I did tone it down and soften it quite a bit.
Yes, sharp results!!! well done!!!
+1 to Richar's comment, but you should also take pride in your mastery of the 'craft' (your own word I seem to remember) So. certainly journeyman rather than apprentice, and maybe master?
