Hi Radu, very nice colors involved here. The details of the mantis nice and just love it sitting on the red. Good Macro work. Well done.

Hello Radu,

Great picture of this mantis on a so lovely flower! You got a nice pov and did a wonderful composition! The colors looks very natural to me too. The black bg compliments remarkably the flower and the insect. I just did a little workshop on it to increase a little bit the sharpness. I hope you'll appreciate! Great picture and TFS,

Michel

Very great shot Radu. Excellent macro.

I love how the eye is looking back at you in this really nice capture. I had one of these riding around on top of my hat for two days believe it or not. After photographing it, the mantid came crawling to me and I stuck my face down for a closer look and then it crawled up my face and onto my hat. It was the strangest and shortest relation I had with a female insect. ;)
