		| | Despite trying to blend in with the surroundings, this little critter couldn't escape your eagle eye. Superb picture, well done! |

		| | Text book beautiful.  Only wish he had been on a solid light colored base so you could see everything about his legs and feet.  He is georgeous and well photographed.  Good solid 9 and almost a 10.  Base would have gotten the 10.  PTL  He actually looks like a prehistoric monster.  Great job.  The more I look it's a 10 inspite of the grass.  You can see his texture on his head, his armour on his neck and his wings.  I love his antennae and his legs.  Great. |

		| | Nice colors.  It looks a little grainy to me.  Not out of focus, per se, just seems to have a touch of grain. karmat |

		| | I have never seen one of these with the unusual wing pattern and colors.  Nice picture, though I wish it was more to the side. |

		| | That is one big hopper.  Great depth of field. |

		| | Great color and good focus. Would have done better on a leaf or more solid background.  The grass seems a bit too busy and takes away from the awesome subject.  DPz |

		| | nice color and depth of field, might have chosen a different background. |

		| | wow.  looks like a grasshopper, but he's got blue wings.  I like it!  you have shown us great detail in this little guy.  angle and framing/cropping are good. focus is just perfect in my opinion.  lighting conditions seem to have been favorable as well.  nice shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~ |
