Macro photography / Wellcome to the HORROR FROM THE FOREST series Nr.3

in #macrophotography6 years ago (edited)

Quick story

Getting ready for the next Game (scroll down) on Sunday, I photographed nature's perfect predator - mantis. I had made a few shots, but this one work the best for the theme. I made the background black, because it gives a feel of mystery and darkness.
So what do you think, did I get it? Let me know in the comment section.

if it's a living species it's hard if you come across a dead one photo stacking might help to get it all in focus

I dont like to make photos of dead bugs insects... I don t know why, I just dont. Maybe in few years will my opinion change 🍀 and focus stacking :/ I did try it, but ist not my thing :)

i know the feeling , i do prefer the living things too :)
