Good job John, he is really cute and he probably is greatful to have been saved by you. The colors are so vibrant and you have captured him well against the yellow background. Alison

Nicely placed and composed John...he stands out so well with that flower behind him....good rescue..I guess you could say he repaid you in kind, by letting you take his photo :) looks like he had a lot to pray about too...

Poor thing! What a wonderful thing you did by rescuing him! Love the flower in the background. This image is well done! :)


Jacquie Lindsay   {K:3196} 7/26/2005
Poor little guy,looks very sorry for himself, nice rescue John!It looks like it's a slightly different species from the ones we get in New Zealand,looks thinner,maybe just the angle?I have a shot of a very pregnant mantis taken just before she layed her egg case outside my front door,she's still there,guarding it maybe! Take care,Jacquie :)


Khaled Mursi Hammoud   {K:52604} 8/1/2005
Before leaving I should congratulate you on this wonderfully captured image... the tones and depth are perfect.
So sad story behind the image but glad you saved him, God bless you my friend,
Khaled.
