Hello Sabine.

You were lucky to catch these two in one shot.
Wonder what happens when they hunt after the same fly.
Very colorful picture also.
Thank you for sharing it.
Have an nice sunday with hopefully a little dragon.

Hi Sabine. The first thing that i noticed was the rich colours with this fine picture of the two insects. I have yet to see a Mantis let alone get a picture of one. As you say with a dragonfly as well. well taken TFS.

Hello Sabine friend,
Wow! Speaking about natural pictures, this is all a miracle! great! a scene difficult to handle, because approach and the light are complex. You've done very well! and additionally, has solved very well the composition, to generate a nice visual picture! TFS, regards, Jesús

What a special scene you caught here BEF! Two killer in the same scene:)
It would be nice to see a prey on mouth parts of the brown smile:) but just a coincidence. Perfect timing MF!
Loved the knocked-off BG too, nicely composed and adequate sharpness.
TFS and have a nice new week Sabine!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hello Sabine,
Amazing scene indeed! This mantis is very tiny. The composition and the colours are very attractive. This is a real natural story. Well observed (Thanks to Stephan too!) and done. Have a nice week,
Catherine

Hallo Sabine
das ist ein interrantes Bild, zuerst die schöne goldene libelle und als Zugabe, diese Mantis mit ihre Beute, ein seltener Gast bei uns,
das Licht, die Farben und die guten Details machen das Bild angenehm anzusehen

Liebe Sabine,
Ja, dieses Bild, vom Inhalt her sehr interessant, wird einigen doch Mühe machen, da es vielleicht ein wenig an Schärfe fehlt. Und da wir ja jetzt ein neues Mitglied auf TN haben, dass den andern sagt, was recht und falsch ist, getrauen sich viele nicht mehr so frei, ein solches Bild zu kommentieren. Ich habe Tendenz den Inhalt als mindestens so wichtig anzusehen, und dieses Bild kommt da meiner Interesse gut entgegen.
Alles liebe
Anne
