Grasshopper refraction in natural light

[pete.mod]

I went out today without my flash. I've been using it too often and wanted a change. It had just rained and there was decent lighting.

I found this grasshopper hiding in a flower with some water drops on it. I followed it around trying to get a refraction. I've tried them once before, but only for a few shots.

It was hard getting the refraction in focus and the eyes. But I got 'something'. Maybe next time I'll get a better shot.

Well done Pete. Great captures.

#2 is my favourite..

So let me see, To top this I need to get a dewdrop which has an image of a bug in it, where if you look carefully, you can see a second dewdrop showing a flower...

Simple! :D

Watch out for my post - in about a decade's time...
