Katherine Kuhn November 18, 2005

Such rich coloration & clarity on those stamens & the grasshopper (or maybe a katydid?). Great shot! #2092586

Many thanks Susie, Goshka,Darryl, Kathy and Colette for your encouragement.

Susie, I can see I will have to list my focal length in future, so you can figure out which lens I have used. This one was at 45mm, on the 14-45mm lens.

Kathy, we don't have the huge green noisy Katydid in Australia. This little character was only a half inch long and doesn't say anything at all. #2094912
