From the Critique Club
I don't know what I can say about this shot that the score and placing don't already say!
The colors here are nice and vivid. Lovely yellows and complimentary greens! A nice amount of negative space in the upper right corner.
At first I didn't like the crop. I thought at first that the insect (the real subject of the shot) should be more prominent, but the more I look at it the more I wouldn't want it changed even the slightest. I would even go as far as to say that the cropping is brilliant!
Now that challenge is over the only things that I would change is to get rid of the dull green behind the mantis and the dull grey in the bottom right corner. Both are slightly distracting, but looking at your score I would have to say that neither are too distracting...
This shot does prove my point that there is at least a small element of chance in great photography. One awesome shot!!!
Yours

| This is exquisite. I almost didn't see the mantis at first because of the way you use the rule of thirds to draw your eye to the flower and away from the mantis. Also because of it's coloring, the mantis appears to be squinting and grinning with its head stuck over the edge of the flower. |

| This has got to be #1. What makes it is the eyes. And you were there at just the right time to get them. It is also a wonderful photo of a beautiful yellow rose - peace. |

| Oh my! I would be shocked to find him/her in my bouquet of roses that's for sure! An excellent shot overall, the cropping is well done, could be just a tad tighter on the right for me personally but the top is nice, you didn't lose the antenna of the praying mantis. The colors are well done but the lighting is just a tad dull to me, just a touch mind you. An 8 to start but I'll be back. |

| Taken for real or posed with a dead one? Excellent photo, I love it. Only, minor, critism is that I might have preferred it with black behind the mantis, rather than the leaf, as the mantis would have stood out even better. Great shot. |

| Excellent idea. The bug is exactly the same color as the foliage (as I'm sure you intended it to be). It took me several seconds before I even saw it, and then I was surprised! That's what got a 10 from me. |
