Agree with the below - very funny. Mantises are unavoidably humourous anyway - if a little scary if you look into their eyes. Good definition.

Excellent capture - I just love it when you can get them looking at the camera. Your title is fitting as well. :-)

Critique Club Review:

To my eye, the recorder leads the eye down and the music leads the eye up. I do like the way you resisted the temptation to run the music and the instrumet in parallel lines. This way the music seems to wrap itself around the instrument, giving a much greater visual interest as it makes the two become one. The frame really works in this picture. All too often a frame is there for the sake of having a frame. Here the color of the frame really makes this picture pop.

About the only other negative comment I have, and it is very minor indeed is that the recorder goes a bit soft at the upper end of the picture. Perhaps an f-stop adjustment would help with the depth of field.

The picture is very well lighted, more would have been less here. The contrast and saturation are simply excellent. This would make a very nice art print, especially for a music lover or classroom.

Congratulations on a very fine picture.

I'm not sure why I gave this a four. I think I didn't like the black background at first. I look at it now and see that it's full of detail. It would have been better had you zoomed in more, and possibly projected the notes onto the flute. I don't know, maybe you did that, but it's not apparent. You get a 6.
