	Mantis closeup Photographed in my garden in October 2006 with a Nikon D100 and Nikkor 60mm macro lens, settings unknown. Image cropped and processed with unsharp mask, levels and some gaussian blur of part of the background with Photoshop CS. This young mantis was stumbling uncertainly among my bonsai trees looking for a meal when he kindly posed for this closeup. Stephen A. Liverman

This is great, Stephen! DOF is perfect and it's very sharp. The expression is priceless.
