Acrida ungarica 2017 Koroni 02 the grasshopper itself is not very colourful and the background neither. I think that these colours are quite natural. Compare it to the second shot of the same hopper which appears more colourful, here on the right side. This second shot has been taken later, under a very warm, descending sunlight, i.e. less natural (the timestamp is UCT+1 but Greece has UTC+2), while the picture listed as FP candidate was shot a bit earlier, with less direct sunlight (it was a bit cloudy that day) and with more stones and sand in the background to have a clear contrast between the background on one hand and the sticks and the insect on the other hand. Not all insects are colourful ;-) --Sputniktilt (talk) 19:12, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The colour of this very interesting insect itself is not my problem. But this almost colourless or cold or grey background with these crosswise lying stems disturbing me very much. After long thinking about that I just can give an weak oppose, sorry. --Hockei (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2017 (UTC) Changed to Neutral in order not to block the speedy promotion. --Hockei (talk) 17:08, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for pointing out the dead pixels (not good for Capture One, because they are not on the raw file). It's fixed (please refresh your browser cache) and I added the file to the category Insects of Greece. Please feel free to add another cat if you think that that might be useful. --Sputniktilt (talk) 07:42, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
true. I added Koroni as a place. But I have to admit that I am not the grand master of Cats. If you like to add another, please feel free to do so. Your help is much appreciated. --Sputniktilt (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Depth of field might be a bit too tight, and I don’t think this picture is for everyone but the more I looked at this the more I like it. The sharpness is just great, I didn’t see hardly any grain, and to use Martin Falbisoners word "camouflaggy" really sets it apart. Sixflashphoto (talk) 20:59, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Charles. Another of those (to me) unusual photos where the animal's ability to blend in with its surroundings makes the picture better. Daniel Case (talk) 18:52, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Info all by Sputniktilt Hint: look at this picture at full size: it is a well camouflaged acrida ungarica.-- Sputniktilt (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Question I miss colours. Maybe WB too cold or too little saturation? --Hockei (talk) 18:37, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
