A cricket perched on a pink oxalis bloom; a celebration of mellow natural greens and complementary pink, with the interesting focal point of an equally green insect. A macro study to be proud of!

Oh wow - thanks for the nomination and comments from devilgas. Also to Ian for the POTD + comments.

That's a Bush Cricket sitting in the Oxalis and I took it maybe 3-4 years ago with the Pentax *istD iirc. It was also one of the first shots I'd taken using what was then my brand new Pentax Macro Ring flashgun.

Just about as perfect as you can get
