Bienvenido a TN Mircea... una hermosa macro con gran agudeza, intensa iluminación y colorido, sobre un perfecto fondo muy bien logrado, gracias a un atinado DOF (lástima que no incluyas el modelo de tu cámara ni los valores de la captura).
Me encanta el encuadre que elegiste para su presentación con la rama muy bien ubicada dentro de la escena.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Welcome to TN Mircea... a beautiful macro with great sharpness, intense illumination and coloring, on a perfect bottom very well achieved, due to an accurate DOF (pity that you don't include the model of your camera neither the values of the capture).
I love the framing that you chose for their presentation with the branch very well located inside the scene.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Hello Mircea,
Remarkable image of a Mantis from an excellent point of view.
Superb focus, DOF, colours, sharpness and overall composition.
A very impressive first post, indeed.
Welcome to TN!

Hi Mircea,
I like a lot this presentation of the mantis.
I'm still wondering how did you do that background?
Is only an extreme DOF? Please let me know...
The details are so good, illumination, composition...simple a great work.
I like also the frame used.
Congratulations, welcome to TN and for the next time please add a small note or coment about your photo,
JM

Fantastic shot, Mircea,
what a wonderful insect and the background is excellent, I'm nearly a little jelous, because I have never seen a mantis with my own eyes before, we don't have them in Germany.
Thanks and a warm welcome here on TN, I'm looking forward to your next shots, bye

Hi Mircea and welcome to TN

What a charming macro work!
This praying mantis looks impressive here in your photo.
The details here are very nice and sharp, the colors are gorgeous overall and the lighting great.
I also like the POV and i think the DOF is excellently managed, too.
The BG itself is a splendor with a very beautiful blend from blue to green (even if that looks a bit strange with the 90 degree rotation, it's still wonderful).
All-in-all GREAT work!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hello Mircea, this is a very nice shot. I like the saturated colours here. Very attractive image although I think a vertical frame would have worked better for the presenting this image. Well done.

Hi Mircea,
What a fantastic macro shot!

tout simplement superbe, les couleurs la profondeur, juste domage qu'il n'y ai pas de commentaire pour savoir de quel famille appartient cette mente religieuse.
