Speckled Bush Cricket
by Jodie Randall
Peeping over the edge of a leaf in my garden, this speckled bush cricket was so incredibly well camouflaged that I had trouble locating him through my camera’s viewfinder.
Equipment: Nikon D70 + Sigma 105mm macro lens
Jodie Randall
I have been taking wildlife photographs for around three years, now eighteen I hope to become a freelance nature photographer.

    Nice focus.

  4. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    That is very clear capture and the cricket almost posing on the edge. I really like the faded background and the crystal clear subject.

    Nice macro shot, although all that green is a little bit too much for me.

  6. Buffy Says:

    wow!!

  7. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    For a macro you have very good depth of field, which is needed on this shot. The most important thing is to get the subject’s eyes in focus; well done.

  8. Julia A. Richman Says:

    Excellent “shot” of the tender cricket.

    Jodi, it’s my personal opinion … your “journey” of becoming a “nature photographer” is quite evident.
