wow, stunning macro...not sure if the mushroom is a distraction from the main subject, but this is a wonderful image

A very special image because it appears like a curl out of nowhere, like a latent birth, much like something forming out of the void. Congratulations on your 4th place.

The background makes this look like a fairytale. I like the focus on the head, but wonder if it would be better to have the entire body in focus.

Comment by Physics_Guru:
The DOF was probably your intent but I think having a little bit more of the mantis in focus would be a little better; specifically in the 'arm' area. Other than that I think this is a great shot; you have good colors, good layout (though that first shroom may be a little dominant (towering) over your subject, and I can tell you put forth a lot of effort on it. Nice work.

Nice capture. I would have liked to have seen it with a little more DoF.
