I found this bug in our yard, hanging upside-down from a branch on a tree. He looked at me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable. That’s why he’s rebellious.
This is the sequel to the free stock photo, Yellow Grasshopper.
I added contrast and burned the corners a lot to contain the creature.

Richard, do you find that using RAW gives you much advantage over JPEG? How?
Thanks,

Do you use any plugins or tools for the vignetting, or just photoshop? Do you have any favorite techniques for doing that?
I saw one plugin tool recently that does some auto finishing including vignette, but it cost $179.
Thanks,

Just Photoshop. I use the setting in Adobe Camera Raw on import, or just the burn brush by hand if working on a JPEG.
No photoshop on this one?
No, I edited this photo quite a bit. I added contrast and darkened the corners (vignetting). No sharpening. The photo is grainy because I took it at ISO800 and editing brings out the grain. I don’t do noise reduction anymore.
Nice page. It’s good to have kids who can use this medium to find you
