Description

Hello! A last few days we had some good long rain and I noticed the mantis on the closed veranda on the curtain. I remembered PJ find hers little garden friends on roses but because of the wet weather I had no heart to put him/her out to the elements. I had a photo session instead and captured some picture of this lean animal. Amazing what I can see with a macro what a naked eye not able to register. After the 'photo shoot' I put him/her back on the curtain. Next day the rain stopped also the mantis gone. The background was boring so I put a bokeh shot behind it in cs3 hope you don't mind. Have a great day, nite, tea time...seeya

Wow, take me to your leader! War of the Worlds mechanism! Terrific focus and detail in this postworked foto of the cool Praying Mantis, Tunde. I love those beady eyes.
