Bleary Eyed

I took quite a few shots of this very colourful grass hopper/locust and in all of the shots, his eyes came up very dull and ordinary looking. I expected something far more interesting like a fly.

Maybe he has been to Happy Hour.

[Lou Ann]

Could he be blind? Or have serious cataracts?

[Jane Anderson]

So much to study in this image!

[Diana]

Fabulous shot and lovely colours.

[PhylM-S]

It's a wonderfully detailed image and he's interesting to look at (great macro) but alas - their eyes are not like a flies - though you can see when theses guys eyes follow you (sometimes creepy).

[Peter]

Superb close up detail and colours Terry:)

[Louise & Ken]

And there, exactly, is the pleasure of macro photography! We get to see the unexpected!

[sally agnew]

He is quite the handsome fellow :)

[Joanna kate]

Striking colours though..

[Margo]

great capture

[Taffy]

Wonderful closeup! Love the details in the patterns of the different elements of the hopper.

[Tony]

Amazing colours. Excellent close-up.

[Suzanne]

Are you sure there is an eye there, it kind of looks like a hole! Apart from that he is rather splendid

[Connie Little]

Wonderful macro.

[Jerome]

super shot

[Peter Grave]

Probably been sampling some of your home brew Terry .This has been known to create the glassy eyed problem !!! Nice shot.

[Sharon]

What a handsome creature.

[Valerie Chesney]

He does look rather worn out! Great capture...

[Ron]

You still got a catchlight though! Great shot!

[Junko Y]

Whoa! What a beautiful capture! I wonder if you might try upping the contrast a teeny tiny bit?
