While on Floreana, we saw a few grasshoppers. I have not compared with the only other one I shot, but I have noticed that I tend to shoot the body and not get the head as sharp. I wish it were sharper. I think that I feel that they might fly if I get closer to the head. I will try that more next time I shoot one. Since this series is more a grouping ot things seen in the Galapagos, I am including some shot that I ordinarily would edit out. Also, I know I could have gone to a smaller aperture

Nice colors here Steve. I wish he was face a little more toward the camera but this does give us a nice view of another new species. thanks for continuing your Galapogos series.
