Bonjour Claude,

moi je dirais, "fais gaffe mon gars, je vais t'en coller deux si tu approches.." question de point de vue semble t-il !

superbe, elle semble figée dans la cire.

Hello Claude

Splendid portrait of this mantis! Now this is a perfect example why they call it "praying" :)
Excellent POV, nice details - it looks as if it is painted :) - and very nice lighting that gives her almost an aureola.
Very nicely framed and composed.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Claude,
Funny head.

Bonjour Claude,
Très marrante l'expression de ta mante religieuse. Elle fait vraiment penser à une dame se préoccupant fort de son paraître.
Encore une photo de mante bien réussie.
Bonne journée

Otro imponente retrato de esta insecto Claude, con impactante iluminación, buen DOF, aunque tal vez el foco sea algo escaso.
Me encanta el encuadre vertical elegido resalta la parte superior de la Mantis.
Gracias y buen fin de semana... Ricardo

Un autre imposant portrait de cet insecte Claude, avec impactante illumination, bon DOF, bien que peut-être le foyer soit quelque chose de peu abondant.
J'aime le cadrage vertical choisi il ressort la partie supérieure des Mantes.
Merci et bon week-end... Ricardo

... demain :-)

Hi Claude, very nice work. I like your pov with the light shining through. Amazing, you managed to get eye contact!
Congratulations Reina

Hi Claude,

This is a very good and sharp macrophotography! I like all those green hues but most of all I like the posture of the mantise, looking at the camera. Also the light passing through the translucent limbs of the creature create a very interesting effect. Great job! TFS!

Regards,
Eddie

Very impressive picture !! I love the bright colours and you`re framing.

Also very sharp picture

Muy buen primer plano de esta Mantes Claude, no debe de ser nada fácil sacarla de esa manera.
Un saludo

Hi Claude,
An excellent shot on this Mantid. Nic quality light from the left has him looking great. So many wonderful shades of green in this photo. Nice pose and fairly good detail. A perfect OOF backround.

Hi Claude!
A feast of Praying Mantises on TN, but all intreresting including yours. I like the way the light lends transparancy to the arms of this insect.
Well done and TFS.

Hola Claude:
¡Me encantò! Muy simpatica esta mantis religiosa. Tiene una inusual mirada con gran nitidez en su rostro y una casi transparencia en sus manos, Me gusta mucho esta composiciòn, làstima que le cortaste las antenas.
