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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
