A fine capture of a beautiful predator waiting in ambush Fartash, the eyes and abdomen of this mantis are very interesting. The mellow reds of the OOF flowers in the backdrop provide good contrast, hence contribute to a fine composition. TFS this nice scene.

Hello Fartash, The left is slightly OOF but th right one is actually compensating with the subject. Lovely view and superb focus. Great composition and sharpness. Ganesh

I love this shot Fartash.
The POV is just perfect to show the eyes off the best and all the details art sharp with great colour.
What an unusual insect too.
A great post.
TFS
