It's an interesting photo. I like the clarity on the grasshopper - it's a shame the reflection isn't quite so clear. Original photo though!

The reflection was probably in the drop but wasn't very clear, the title came from what I thought it was doing.

They are an excellent Macro lens. I happen to have two of them. Here's another of the cricket!

I thought with his front leg in that position he looked like he was at a bar ordering
I do like the first one better for of the story it tells.

This guys a handsome devil, EM - so I guess we can't blame him for a bit of narcism. Clever shot and a great eye, my friend - cool stuff.

Perhaps responsible service of alcohol at the cricket bar. Good shot. You must have good eyes to keep seeing these top macro opportunities.

I'm sure there'd be a few around the place.

What's happening, shots of bugs as good as it may be, but no women, no roses, no drops, no stars, I just feel we're being short changed here somewhere.
