Description
Praying mantis.A little bit about how this is done. This particular shot's bokeh was received from a back lit lemon leaf. lemon leafs have small pores all over them. the back light shines through these pores, and the fact that they are outside the depth of field, cause them to appear in the shape of the lens's aperture.

I've just had a look at your website Nadav... you excel at supermacro.. they are stunning and beautifully creative. I'm trying to get some traditional nature photographers here (www.naturephotos.dk) to think outside the box and get creative. I have sent the committee a link to your website!

Strike up the band and let's play! This is awesome! That lil' mantis is so adorable, and it really does look like (s)he's conducting an orchestra amid of green twilight. The clarity is astounding and the whole feel of the piece is exciting, despite the small stature of our little band leader
