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.

Whoosh, scary... But I really like it. It is so vivid, my favourite shade of green actually. I have to love it despite that the mantis is really creepy...

This is such a neat photo! It reminds me of shadow play. I love the detail that can be found when you look closely at the photo, like the water drops found on the mantis. The background of the lemon leaf gives the whole photo a feel of glamor.
This is far nicer than any online backround I have found. I've made this my desktop background, I love this so very much. A fine photograph!
