Hi Didier,
What a amazing good photo. Such great sharpness and detail in the mantis. Did you make a pan to get this photo or was it jus the suttertime? (sorry still learning to understand the technique) Colors and light are amazing.

Hi Didier,
Excellent flight shot. I have never observed a photo of a Mantis in flight. Good colors and I love the motion blur.

Very unusual shot, Didier.
I don't think I have seen a capture of a mantis in flight.
Fantastic timing. Look at those hind legs going every which way. Really interesting.
Sharp details and great light.
TFS this wonderful and unusual photo. : )

this is an amazing action shot. Colors and exposure is great. The action well frozen in air with the b/g blurry. Well done.

Amazing inflight Didier. I really like the feeling of motion you get from the BG effect.
I can't remember ever seeing a mantid inflight on TN before. Very well done.

Bonjour Didier!

Fantastic photo!!! I like blurred BG which adds dynamics to composition. But of course mantis is the best. Perfect details, pose and first of all - timing.

Very very nice!!!
I add to my favorites
I would like to know how do you take it in macro cause the insect is very fast?
Thanks!

Hello Didier,
This is a superb in flight capture.
I like the motion blur of the background.
Good lighting and nice detail and colours of the insect.
Your hard work and patience has paid off with this capture.
Superb!

Privet Didier.
Never saw flying Mantis. A magnificent foreshortening and a composition. The color scale and a dynamical background are very good. It is more similar to a flying winged horse. Bravo!

Hi Didier,

This is a first with a mantis in flight. Excellent shot and well done on the composition.

Hi Didier,
I had not much time in the last days - so I'm happy I found this hot at least.
Wow, it's spectacular, so many action here, we can see the "running" background, this is beautiful. I'm a little jealous, I only saw a mantis 1 time in my life, and you have a shot of a flying one, I'm very amazed,
thank you so much for this interesting one, bye

Hi Didier,
A really outstanding shot ouf this flying manthis timed before landing. It is at the same time abstract as for the composition and the background, but with many details, and scientific value... Great lighting too, with psychedelic wings. Thanks for showing, Patrick

Phantastic in flight capture, Didier!
I never saw a big fat female mantis flying.
I always thought only the males could get into the air.
This is a great document.
Superb!
Thanks and best regards,
Peter

What an unusual photo! It's amazing how you got the insect sharp whie it is moving, and you are moving with it. It must have taken you a few attempts!
Very sharp, considering, and nice colours and composition.

Extraordinaire, je n'avais encore jamais vu ça ! Et esthétiquement très réussi aussi. Cela a du être difficile à réaliser, je croyais que ce genre de clichés n'était possible qu'avec un matériel spécial, appareil couplé avec un faisceau... ?

Bonjour Dider
Je viens de parcourir votre galerie et c'est un vrai bonheur.
Cela doit représenter des heures d'attente et de recherche, et peut être beaucoup de photos loupées.(c'est mon cas)
Merci pour ces belles photos

impressionnant!
Saisie en plein vol...
le mouvement que donne le fond laisse partir l'imaginaire... Que va-telle rencontrer? Quelle sera la suite de ce déplacement ...
Cela c'est sans parler des couleurs, du détail focalisé sur l'animal...
bravo
