Il y a quelque chose d'assez incroyable dans vos photos... comme si nous arrivions dans une autre dimension. La gestion bokeh/netteté est parfaite, si bien qu'elle donne un aspect de gigantisme à cet univers qui pourtant frôle nos pieds. Sans parler de la lumière et des couleurs qui ne font qu'embellir vos clichés... La nature est magnifique et vos photographies en sont une nouvelle fois la preuve.
Bonne continuation !
Laura

Very Nice!!
Fabien BRAVIN  Thank you Stefano
toujours aussi bien traitée!!!
mais les compositions elles-mêmes sont très similaires je trouve .... c'est pas mal mais c'est ce que je remarque.
Cela dit beau travail!
petite question, tu achètes des larves d'empusa ou tu les trouves au grès des balades?

always well treated
but the compositions themselves and are very similar I think .... it's not bad but that's what I notice.
that said nice work!
quick question, you buy larvae Empusa or you find them in sandstone walks?
Fabien BRAVIN  Thank you Jean Baptiste.
Well concerning composition, i do not know. Of course, that is still an insect on a rope or flower so if i look with a narrow vision, this is always the same you are right.
But the subject does not matter so much for me, only the mood and the atmosphere that generates feelings are important for me. So i just need a quite well balanced composition taht's all and i'm not looking specially for the originality of it.
This is the way i work, this is what i like and I try to vary as much as i can but there are always boundaries :)

Empusa and mantis are very common in south of France. You can find them quite everywhere if you look carefully and at the right place. I've got many in my own garden.
Have a nice evening
jean baptiste thouron  thank you for your response!
I think it's still work because the pictures generates some different feelings which we are not all able to catch! ;)
about that, bravo!
jean baptiste thouron  après relecture je sais pas si ma traduction est dans le sens que je voulais!
je pense que c'est beaucoup de travail, parce que tes photos procurent beaucoup d'émotions et de sentiments que nous ne sommes pas tous capable de capturer...
et pour ça, bravo!
jean baptiste thouron  désolé pour mes fautes qui me sautent aux yeux maintenant ^_^
grès/sandstone = gré/???
sorry!!!

Great shot & moment but i prefer without silhouette must be perfect !
Fabien BRAVIN  Thank you Ali. There is no silhouette here and just enough details in the shadows to my taste. Surely a matter of screen brightness too
