Hi Junsi,
The picture is a little dark but we can appreciate very nice details and tones of colors. I like those droplets on the flowers and composition with this tinny mantis. The dark background creates nice effect. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Jusni,
A beautiful capture of this praying mantis over the oleander flower I guess. Excellent sharp details and a very good composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

In the thumbnail I could not make it out and thought perhaps this was a new name for a flora...but I see it now...do you have many of them over there? I only saw 2 last year which was 2 more than I saw in all my years in the wilderness...The flora is almost the focal point...hmmmmm

Abang Jusni,
You got good angle to capture the Mantis and the flowers, and I think the flash light centred more on the flowers than the Mantis as a subject! but still brings good clarity, sharpness and details on it!
just my opinion, hope you do not mind!

Hi Jusni,
Wonderful shot of this Praying Mantis on Desert Rose flowers. Superb use of flash lighting and the water drops looks beautiful on the flowers. Very neat and sharp image with lovely colours. Excellent POV to portray this scene and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Jusni, this is a dream shot. I love shooting after the rain, you get great colour saturation, and you might find things wet, as you have. You also got a bonus with this Preying Mantis. This worked out very well with excellent colour, and a very good composition with the mantis on the flower. The background has been nicely muted to leave us with your two main elements, both in very good sharp focus.

Thanks, John

Hi Jusni,

Interesting subject on a beautiful flower, but the Mantis is underexposed, and I think you needed to get closer and emphasize the Mantis more. The flower is out of focus, so that's not helping in this instance. It's a nice photo, but I know you can do better! :-)

Thanks,
John

Hello Jusni

A lovely capture of this mantis on a beautiful flower.
The shot is dark but the lighting available was well utilized.
The contrast is very good,and the colours are rich.
The mantis is well focused with sharp detail.
