Wooow ! What a wonderful and interesting "Mante" that you have very well captured ! Its body is smaller than our species in France... I like how she looks at you ;-) Congratulations Janice and thanks for sharing this beauty.

Hello Janice,

You have captured this beauty very well, and I especially like the wonderful pose and great eye contact.

I haven't seen one of these for the better part of...well never mind that, it has been a long time :-D

Excellent details, colors, pov, exposure.

Superb work, thank you for sharing it with us!

BTW, did you establish that this was a female?

Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Janice,
excellent picture of that cunning looking mantis,
obviously trying to get away without losing its face.
Colours and details are perfect, and the composition is outstanding.
The mantis is taking the whole available diagonal space with a pose as elegant as that of a ballett dancer.
Just great! Thank you, and best wishes,
Peter

What a spectacular pose and shot of this creature. Looks like she's posing just for you. Such interesting creatures I have them here in my yard and find them sometimes, although they're only about 3 inches across at the most. Very nice capture, the greens are so lovely the dark leaves highlighting her coloring well.

Dear Janice, fantastic capture. Soon I will be posting a photo of one of this guys from Brazil...I think they are around the world! Fantastic animal, they are poisoness but can easily defeat dangerous preys like poison spiders. Beautiful capture.

Kia Ora Janice
Well, if we can't beat you at rugby we have to try some other ways... (Bad joke.)
She seems to be very aware of you and your camera and gave you a great pose. What is it with women and a camera?
This is a lovely photo on all counts. I.e. composition, POV, exposure, DOF, and absolute perfect details. The colour is amazing and adds to the overall impact created by the shot.
Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
PS. I've been looking at some old critiques and found for some strange reason this one had no smiley attached to is so here it is, nine months late, but delivered at the correct address.
