Excellent image Mark. Tack sharp.

Thank you Peter. I was quite pleased with the result - being hand-held on the beach.

Even more impressive.

We don't get to see many of your photographs, maybe change that in 2017?

Ah, yes. Time. I'll try my best.

Nice shot! I love the way that his eye follows you around the room...

Nice shot, Mark. My ratio of handheld keepers for macro is pretty low if I want any DOF.

I've had a fascination with them since I was a kid. Think I had a quart jar full of the cast-off exoskeletons one year when I was in grade school.

A year ago this past summer I shot a sequence of one emerging. Exept for this one, most are unprocessed. "Time", as you say, and a slow 2008 era computer.

Thanks Roger! We seem to have two types here (possibly more, but I've seen two types often) these bright green ones and then also a browny-black one. The green ones are the smaller of the two.

Here's another shot of the same critter.

Nice. The color of the leaf and cicada compliment each other well. You've also got an interesting pattern on the leaf as well.
