One of southern europe's largest and most colourful orthoptera.

Taken on my butterfly trip to Mt. Chelmos, Greece, in July 2012.
Re-edited now with some luminosity masks to control harsh light.

Nikon D3S/200f4micro/cpl/SB600+softbox
ISO 320 1/250 f/18 handheld

Enjoy!

Excellent image - what a showy species, nicely posed, fine detail. Great job with the masks, the light looks good.

Hi

Well I think your processing is a ton better than mine if this was harsh lighting (LOL) - and a decent looking image of this happily colourful chap - I have enjoyed

All the best
Matthew

What a wonderful katydid. We have nothing that colorful near me. Thanks for sharing.
