Yellow Grasshopper

A yellow grasshopper from my yard, with my attempt at isolating him. I did alright, so I'm releasing this as a resource to the world.

You can download the source image (JPEG, 573KB) or the edited version in loseless PNG format instead of the JPEG above (1.4MB, make sure to use the sRGB color space). Both images are released under the same license. For editing, I added contrast and removed the background using the eraser brush in Adobe Photoshop. The best way is to use the pen tool and layers, but I hate layers.
