This image is a bit too small and appears out of focus, although that could be the effect of not being able to see it closer. I do agree though, that the Praying Mantis is a 'graceful' creature.

The image is too blurry and too small for this subject imo. I like the idea, just not the execution.

I think these insects are graceful too, but it doesn't really come across in this image. The composition is good, but the image is too small and blurry.

image is blurred. the busy background causes the mantis to get lost. perhaps cropping closer, as well as having a sharper image. details get lost.

I think a praying mantis would be a good subject for this challenge. However, this shot is very blurry and the lighting is not very good. I wish the image itself was larger so I could see the details better.

Photo is too small try 640 x 480

Aside from being way too small to judge properly, I'm afraid this one is just too muddled with extraneous stuff in the background. Sorry...

I can't tell what it is a picture of. It all sort of blends together.

The praying mantis is a very elegant insect, but here... doesn't work at all.

I like this subject a much! :-) Anyway, it's a bit too blurry for me, I would have used a simpler and more homogenic background to highlight the Mantis, and the lighting is also a bit glaring for me above him.
