Description

I uploaded This Same Praying Mantis On yellow Flower before. This One is The same Mantis and at the same Yellow flowers. The difference is My new Sigma lens. Used the Macro Function on my Sigma lens as well as a Tripod and 10 Second Self Timer. I captured this picture Yesterday. I had some fantastic natural back lighting from The Sun.

Christo, this is spectacular! The backlighting makes the mantis appear translucent! I also think your composition is strong! Very well done indeed my friend! :)

Oh, this is amazing! That light is perfect. The mantis looks almost as if the light is shining through it in a wonderful way. I love the color and the details. The angle of the mantis is perfect also, and I really like the detail of the eyes--they way he is focused on you! You did this with your dragonfly on poo shot also; you captured the insect looking directly at you and the effect there and here is very, very striking! This is great!
