| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
A praying mantis, or praying mantid, is the common name for an insect of the order Mantodea. Often mistakenly spelled preying mantis (an eggcorn, since they are notoriously predatory), they are in fact named for the typical "prayer-like" stance. The word mantis derives from the Greek word mantis for prophet or fortune teller. The preferred pluralization is mantids,[1] though there is some usage of mantes or mantises.

Hi Iris,
great picture.
You used a nice DOF to reach this effect
well done.
Marco.
Iris, you did well on sharpness and DOF (?)
but ... ;-) ... IMO the compo could be better.
If you divide the photo in half ( length and hight )
you see that the actual photo is almost " just "
down left.
Therefore I put a "?" behind the DOF.
If there where more DOF then the right part of the photo
could have played along.
So in this case another POV and maybe another type of lens
( 105mm or 200mm macro ) would be better ?
I know If you go for a walk it's very difficult and very unlikely that you have the time to choose your POV and even change the lens.
See you later !
Jan
