Mid air!! Pretty cool!

 

[Heitz]

that's a photoshop job, right?

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks Mishele
Heitz, nope, not photoshopped....

(I only sharpened and cropped )

Grasshoppers slightly horrify me but despite that, this is a great shot

Attack of the hoppers!! Lookout!!

Dang. Judi, I don't know how to say this... but you're leaving me behind. I just do not have the reflexes you have to be able to catch the flying grasshopper in mid-air. Unless... he/she/it landed on your very clean windshield and you took its portrait... Still. You can still whip out the camera and take the shot while I'm just noticing that something landed on the windshield. Eh. I feel slow... and old...

Too good it even looks like photoshoped. I think you sharpened too much so that the edges look hard as if you copied and pasted.

It's not photoshopped - it's just sitting on a piece of glass. I almost got one like this yesterday but couldn't change lenses quick enough. Nice shot!

I knew I couldn't pull one over on you guys lol
Yep he's on the car window, we were pulling in at home and he jumped on for a ride.
Pgriz, I always have the camera at the ready when we are out and about so I can't claim special ninja grasshopper shooting skills, only preparedness !

wow.. great photo

 

[charlie76]

Only way he could be flying is if someone shot him out of a straw like a spit ball....his wings are closed!!

Thanks thiha
Charlie, yup you are absolutely correct, hence "levitating" instead of flying or airborne
