A very good capture.
Nice vivid colour of the mantis and good DoF.
A good and informative note too.
Very well done.

Jean Michel, Nice picture with a complete mantis. Also the subject is well isolated from it's background. A little more light (fill-in flash maybe) would have revealed more detail in the abdomen.
Very nice shot.
Greetings, Jan

Wow, super photo that shows this mantis off beautifully against the background. Colours are great, as is DOF and sharpness.

Une jolie macro de mante ! Le fond en bois n'est pas désagréable et la fait bien ressortir.
Well done !

Like the attitude of this guy, fighting fit, not distraction anywhere, well done.

Gran captura Jean Michel.
Muy buena definicion, el color verde del insecto es impactante realmente.
Adecuada profundidad y encuadre, al igual que la nota que la acompaña.

Great capture Jean Michel.
Very good definition, the green color of the insect is impressive really.
Suitable depth and frame, like the note that accompanies it.

I love MAntis, is original, has a lot of style and is just a bug! Very good note and excellent macro, he looks to have an alien head and the way he uses his "Hands" is divinal!

Well done, great composition

I've missed this one. Very nice, original POV in terms of lighting and the wood. It's great that you got the whole thing in, it looks pretty mean!

Very good capture of this "alien". I really love the pose here. Colours are great and IMO you handled the dof very well. Very interesting note too.
