Personally I would think this would have been #1 for
being a beautiful photograph, perfect lighting, clarity,incredible balance of the walking stick. And the most original. I think you are a very good photographer.

great shot. good work creating a visually dynamic image that meets the challenge description exceptionally well. my one thought is that the brown background is a bit distracting. also it might have made the image a bit more interesting to crop more off the bottom left.

Lovely lighting and nice interpretation of the theme - deserves to do well

Cool pic.

Prayer is bridge from Man to God. Praying Mantis is bridge from.... What exactly does pass over this bridge? It's a beautiful picture, but it doesn't meet the criteria for this challenge.

I've read in the forums how some members don't like flowers or bugs. I don't know what they're talking about. This shot is fantastic. Excellent detail!

Very creative, nice backlight and color. Great work.
02/19/2005 11:47:41 AM
good job, kudos for originality. good choice of lighting, semi transparent subjects tend to look better back lit.
02/19/2005 03:19:22 AM
great picture
02/18/2005 08:42:07 PM
Beautiful colors & light. Maybe just a tad overexposed, but not much. A little noise in the background. Wonderful shot. Added to my favorites. 9

I love how the lighting makes everything glow. Really good picture, in every regard. And the well-done border adds a nice finishing touch.
02/18/2005 02:10:12 PM
nice
02/18/2005 12:10:08 PM
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. very good timing. congratulation

Nice take on the theme
02/17/2005 02:50:43 PM
ants maybe, praying mantis... Okay. Nice capture though
02/17/2005 01:19:51 PM
On my monitor at least, the yellow looks a little too bright with perhaps a bit of overexposure below the insect. Good and sharp, though and a great capture.
02/17/2005 01:13:47 PM
This is really nice. Much better excecution than the last bug shot in this contest.
02/17/2005 05:07:27 AM
um
wow.
that is one cooperative mantis. this shot is amazing.
02/17/2005 02:57:48 AM
cool shot !!!

You took full profit of the extended interpretation of this challenge. I like your idea. The lighting is very interesting, it creates that golden lone on top of the plants and the insect. I also think that your picture has a very strong and striking composition. The eye is led from the bright yellow sunflower, which catches the attention, over to the left. 10.

Very nice idea. And nicely realized. Great bokeh. I wonder where one finds this flora and fauna in early February. I suppose it must be a submission from the southern hemisphere.

This is one heck of a take on bridges..fantastic glowing shot! Original and striking.

Big gamble which I think you executed very well. Good luck.

A unique take on the challenge that works nicely here. Focus is excellent, and the vivid colours are great against the drab background - everything stqands out very well, and the photo has a real sense of life to it. Nice job.

Outrageous! I love it. I was very amused to see TWO mantic bridges, this is far the stronger of the pair. The light in the flower is a little hartsh for this image, I think... But basic editing, so... Quite an accomplishment.
