Justin Hofman  Sometimes one side of our brain tells us to do something that the other side doesn't realize but later we go "I must have known those colors were complimentary. Right?" In my case it's mostly dumb luck.

thats a very ugly animal... :-)
But the photo is damn good!
Justin Hofman  Aw, how could you say she is ugly? Thanks for the comment
Daniel Hasselberg  I am so sorry I did not mean to offend you or the bug...!
It was just my first feeling!
Justin Hofman  It's fine Daniel. I'm glad the photo gave you at least gave you a feeling, positive or negative. that's the whole point of this anyways.

Ahh, a different take from the same shoot? Beautiful. I like this one. The mantis is beautifully clear and green, and the flower petal at a slant like that makes the image quite dynamic. One little suggestion, I'd consider cloning out the imperfection in the petal, right in front of the front leg (although maybe that would be too clinical) :) Good work.
Justin Hofman  I'll just leave the flower as is. I'm glad at least one of the photos from my little session got accepted. I may try for one more before I hang it up.
Ursula I Abresch  Good for you :)
