Stock agencies traditionally don't like the photos to be bordered or "finished" like this. Lovely colors and creepy idea : )

Hey, who invited the bug to the party ;-) Very well organized, setup and great lighting. The border that's a different thing all toghether but oh well.

How come the mantis has no shadow?

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm not sure a praying mantis and a strawberry should end up in a stock photo together, but 10 nonetheless. Good job!

what's the main subject?

Nice picture -- with the composition, colors, focus and all. . .but it could very well keep me from wanting to ever eat a strawberry again :) (just kidding). Good job.

the mantis makes it hard to understand if we are looking down or looking up ..

The angle that this was taken makes it feel a little awkward

Excellent colors and framing... the praying mantis seems a bit out of place.
