Violin Mantis Portrait

An incredible species and great detail in this shot. My eyes are not drawn away from what needs to be seen. Great job!

What an amazing insect! Is this a pet, and if so how many of your fingers has it chopped off already? :)

I disagree slightly with Bruce though, the space and out of focus claws on the lower right tend to draw away my eye and/or make the composition feel just a tiny bit out of balance. Just a little tighter cropping on the right would make things truly perfect, I hope you don't mind that I try and show the slight difference with (to me at least) significant effect.

Thanks Paul, but your crop looks like it's leaning too much out of the frame and makes it look off balance to me.  Thanks anyway.
