Wow...a sensational macro image! A majestic and imposing capture of this praying mantis on the deep, red flower! The uncluttered dark background gives it added emphasis...big congratulations!

We are fortunate to have this photo along with other photos by Rick hanging in our church art gallery. Rick does such fine work.

Excellent capture. I should be so lucky. But then it's not luck but skill that caused this image. Nice work.

Amazing. Almost looks like a studio shot with the black background but not sure how you would have coached the mantis to pose! A very cool capture - big congrats.

Wow, what a splendid macro with brilliant color displaying both the red flower & the praying mantis with terrific detail against an excellent BG making them really pop. Congrats on your top notch winner, Rick!
