Hi Oz,
Superb point of view, very unusual.
Very good details. The colors look natural.
Well done. (I guess you had to lie down in order to get this shot).

What an incredible pose, Oz.
I have never seen such a perfect show of the warning stance
and of the ventral view.
Fantastic POV with sharp details and great composition.
What a great moment you caught.
TFS. : )

Another great macro estimated friend with excellent point of view and sharpness.

I like it a lot: composition, focus, sharpness, POV, DOF, color, background, lighting, framing.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: nothing.

Great post, TFS.
Regards... Ricardo

Hello Oz,
excellent observation and capture of patterns and behaviour that does not fail to frighten me even when seen on a screen. A magnificent documentation of interspecies communication of mesmerizing intensity.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

Hello Oz!
As I noted last time I am here again :) And the reason is very simple: from time to time I habe a great pleasure to discover a gallery of fantastic pictures, and your gallery is one of them :)
Today - for the beginning - a photo of mantis species in self-defence position. Great timing and fantastic details. I had oportunity to observe this species (the only species of Mantodea occurring in Poland) in such positions but it was to difficult to take a good photo of such behaviour. So here are my best congratulations!
Best withes from Lodz,
Radomir
