Wow! Is that its real coloration?

I took it at the end of last year, so I'm no longer entirely positive—the original is on a hard drive in another country at the moment. I think the saturation was increased a bit, but I don't recall adjusting the hue very radically. There was a fairly wide range of coloration on those grasshoppers.

Very nice shot. I like it no matter how it was made. Those grasshopers sure are crazy looking.

Stunning

whats going on here? Interesting image, but I have not a clue as to what it is.

It's actually my hand holding a ruler. I was attempting to test the distance kept in focus on my 50mm lens at f/1.8.

wow, I love it. The mystery created with such a simple shot. Cheers!

I don't know what the hell this is (a rotting rabbit?) but it sure looks scary...

Exactly, what is this???

A rat that died inside a building.

I think you were brave to get close enough to take this picture ~~ KUDOS!
Excuse me now while I run away...

Heavenly...

great shot

Outstanding image...it must have been spectacular in person.

Thank you. It was more spectacular in person than the photo conveys, actually.

nice rays!

Wow, its great. How did you take this?

It was a nest in a bush, shot with a 100mm macro lens.

wow.. this is really nice, i love how everything is monochrome other than the beaks.

Those feet aren't so lucky now...great detail and nice shot.

really a scary image, so simple but the image is so powerful...

Wow, It's amazing!

i love your framing here
and the details

This is just sick.......

Yep !! -- Thanks mates ;-)

very nice - really like the sky and composition!

great composition. the two red lights are very interesting

Nice colors, great photo..my husband recognized it as well!

I love the colours in this one, great picture.

can't tell by the thumbnail on this one.. it was the shape and intriguing light that got my eye, then what a surprise! ... what kind of creature is that a newborn?

It's a very tiny baby rat inside a ship air vent that's lying sideways.

beautiful shot, do you know what the paper means?

Sorry, I have no idea what it says. I just liked how it looked.

Great shot for me too. Meaning is part of mystery

Reminds me of post cards from the past.

This picture shows my beautiful hometown Salzburg, Austria

Wunderschön! Grüße aus Wien

This is really, really nice. I wouldn't have thought to try doing such a photo with selective saturation, but it turned out great!
