Wow, up close and personal and scary! :)

Yes, they can be the masters of camouflage and disguise and while this is a wonderful macro of said Praying Mantis, it's not really being hidden or camouflaged very well now is it? I would have liked this much better if it was further back and showing me how it was hiding itself. The focus seems a bit soft overall, even on the face part. But again, wonderful effort on the whole. A 7

Too bad about the focus, I would probably have liked this if it had been in tack sharp focus. Fits the challenge though.
