Man I LOVE preying mantis's . . . wish this one's head was a bit more sharp. Nice colors and detail in the fly

I would have focused on the predator, not the pray...

Exceptional close up.

Would have been perfect if there was just a little more DOF to get the sharpness of the mantis's head to be sharper. 7

Cool capture. Lots of good things here. Color, composition, the subject itself. My nitpick would be with the lack of DOF. There is just not enough in focus to make this an outstanding image. It's very nice but it could be better.

Dinner time. I just don't notice all the colors in these insects until someone takes a great photo and shows me. Neat shot.

Good capture. need smore depth but good on you for getting this. background also bit to bright.

Nice details on the bug, and while I think the bright yellow background helps, the areas along the right that are darker do tend to draw my attention.

Fascinating and horrifying at the same time. Excellent focus showing me things I'd rather never have seen (I'm not a fan of bugs). 7

IMO the in focus subject here had to be the mantis's head and not the fly. Easier said than done, I know.

Outstanding shaprness and great DOF.

Superb capture. I think with a bit of focus stacking this would have made an outstanding shot!
