wow!....what an amazing image with the mantis set against that beautiful landscape in the background. The blue tint certainly gives it a night time feeling.
We've got the same bug and tomorrow I've got one in the same color toning ... what a coincidence! Wonderful praying mantis and the composition is great with the view in the distance!
Hallo, Stefan ! Wo hast du denn diese Gottesanbeterin gefunden ? Du machst dann natürlich gleich ein dramatisches Bild daraus. Bist ein echter Künstler ! Gruß Sonja
Wow! This is definitely the best photo I've seen all day!. Not only perfectly posed and captured mantis, but incredible background, lighting, and colors as well.
Vraiment c'est une superbe photographie et je crois que je n'ai encore rien vu de tel...
Toutes mes félicitations pour cette photo ainsi que votre portfolio !!!
RESPECT...;D
Back in the days of hippies and free love (of which I got none :-) I had a florescent poster of one of these creatures that was just beautiful under black light. This is a great photo.
wenn ich nicht wüste wie große dieses tier in wirklichkeit ist, würde ich jetzt angst bekommen. großarftiges bild, der blauton und die unschärfe des hintergrundes überzeugen mich.
Oh my god, this is not from real world ?!
Although it is. Thanks for extraordinary lesson for photographing and composing.
But looks like you have already realised all the god composition ideas :)
Well - I'm worthless !
