Hi Folks,

the third of my mantis sequel.

Seen here the two insects are in identical pose like two sparring boxers.

Thanks for viewing and your kind words.

Agoes.

Hi Agoes,
Welcome back to TL, good to see your photos again! That's an impressive macro photo again, the green tones are splendid. Focal length and DOF is excellent, the result is an amazing sharp macro shot with great details. Perfect job, Agoes, keep it up! TFS.
Best regards,

Hello Agoes!
Excellent focus and very very good capture!
Great colours, beautiful blurred background!
Just perfect!!!
Best regards!

Really a fantastic moment to capture, dear Agoes.
imo, the sharpness could be improved by using more Kb's close to 300 instead of the 104, it is uploaded now.
Nevertheless a beautiful Nature picture is it.
Congratulations with it.
Terima Kasih.

Hola amigo,
interesante macro,
buen foco y color,
saludos Agoes.

Another superb macro shot with bright colours and sharp details. Is this a natural pose for the mantis's or did you "introduce" them to each other? Either way round its a cracking shot.
Thanks for sharing
