The giant

I've seen a couple of these macros with great DOF and I now know that Canon Power Shot S2 IS does it. I wonder how is it with SX30IS?! Minimal focusing distance on its lens is 0mm! Great macro with suitable composition this is! Has depth unusual for macros! Colors of the background are fine!

I am left wondering how real it is. No matter what, it is an interesting image.

Thank you, Pierre, David !

The grasshopper is real, the photo was made in Bonito, Brazil, in a Natural Reservation for ecologic tourism. He was our guest in one morning in hotel location. For details, see : biosferabrasil.com

About the S2IS : Has very good macro for a compact with excellent minimal focusing distance.

Best regards, Mircea

A great image with wonderful color, detail and DOF.

Excellent!!!

This is a great picture.

I have voted for a pretty good number of photos in the current Wilderness contest. But this one was my first vote, before I realized if I could vote again.

I've never seen anything like it. Extremely creative and entirely successful, and just really interesting and offbeat.

I love it. Congrats!

This is not your typical Macro shot ! Very well taken, nice focus and of course very nice background.

A "creature" by any definition ;-).  Fantastic shot... Mike
