This is so cool. Love the beauty of the flower and its colors along with the pov that shows off its features. The mantis in the prayer position which is so deadly. Love the details you bring out on it. Even got yourself some spider webs. Beauty and danger all in one look. #11344864

thanks Evy and Frank. It had it's eye on a butterfly. I didn't see the spider web until I put it in the computer. Thanks again for your wonderful comments. #11344921
