This photo was taken Saturday in my backyard. My wife was planting a Crape myrtle when she spotted this juvenile Praying Mantis on the new shrub.

About Me

- I work in the industrial distribution sector as a salesman for a master distributor of valves and fittings in Houston, TX. I am a member of the Bay Area Photo Club which meets at the Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake in Clear Lake Texas on Tuesday nights. I shoot with an Olympus E-3 and my favorite lens in my Zuiko 12-60.

Nice shot Larry!
I like the composition a lot but it looks to me like your subject is slighly out of the focal plane. From looking at the leaf in the upper right hand corner it appears to me that the focal plane is slightly in front of the Mantis. You must have had a very narrow depth of field with your lens choice and camera settings?
Cheers!

Two words - extension tube! Forces you to trade exceptional focus on a plane about the thickness of a playing card for DOF. I may have to invest in a macro lense one of these days...
