Hi Rick, great atmosphere as 'usual':)! Wow. What is the lightsource at the back? Did you use a seperate light source from the left? That and in macro, unbelievable. Well done, again. Posted 12 years ago

Thanks Ludo. The light source in the back is a reflection of the sun, and the mantis is also lit by the sun's reflection. I use reflected light a lot in my images, all from the sun, but no flash. Posted 12 years ago
