  • Support Very unique photo that give rare view on its subject. Colors as well as contrast and luminance are all great, image quality is very good. The horizontal line is balanced and the photo itself is beautiful. The background is blured on purpose to create a good contrast which emphasize the foreground. The grasshopper look still as the photo was taken from distance and with very short time of exposure I guess (or that it stuffed?) --Gilisa (talk) 09:44, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
