The bokeh and the clarity of the subject complements each other very well...you almost have a 3d feel to it.

Can I know what lens and camera setting?

No peeping allowed while mother nature goes about her work....:D :D

Great shots! I love the colors and lighting. Did you use flash for these?

The first two look more like cricket or katydid though.

I did use flash for #1 and #3. #2 is natural light.

Ops, You are right! I think they look more like cricket:o :)

UK insects look so dull by comparison! Maybe global warming will help - we have large flocks of noisy Parakeets now.

Nice work Melvyn! Very impressive. Rick, Brian and Omri: Melvyn looks like he's trying to steal your crown ;) hehehe.

I like all of them, but my fave is #3 - the look on their faces says it all, it's sort of a "you taking a photo of me?" look!
