Comment by Sebi:
a Very stunning and beautiful macro. The focus seems to be on his pincers whereas being on it's head would be much nicer. I don't understand the white line to the left of the shot. The composition is interesting and I like it. In a weird way this is very nicely balanced. I like the oxymoron in the title, I can see how it would relate to the image but it would have been nicer if there were something like two mantis' one grooming like this one, and the other with a fly. so ill give you 2.5/5 for relating to the challenge.

When I first look at this, the subject seems to be more the wonderful mountain rather than the animals (which I can't quite make out what they are).
