Shot this guy in the front yard this afternoon. Critique is always welcome, especially in regard to the dof. Still trying to get this macro stuff down ... any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks! -Tex

Really great detail, he has great teexture. Really nice DOF is god a bit shallow maybe. Great shot though.

That thing is freaky :shock: Great capture!

Now that's as close as I've ever been to a grasshopper. The face is very sharp and detailed and the DOF is a little shallow as it looks to be blurring a little of the face on the right side but still a great shot!

Cool-looking macro - I like grasshoppers... WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE.
