Very nice lighting and detail on the underside of the grasshopper. What lens and lighting did you use pray tell? The Volna Macro and 540 flash would be the obvious guess.

Great grasshopper and the duck is good as well.

Lee, thank you for your comments. I actuallu used the Pentax-F 135/2.8 with a ~25mm ext. tube (A K-A TC with the lens elements removed), and the built in flash.

Both well captured.
Good timing on the duck capture and good detail on the grasshopper.
Thanks for sharing.

I like both them. The light and the movement in the first one are fantastic

Looks like the duck is showing off for you!
