October 2025 - PRAYING MANTIS
Original
About the Image(s)
This was a hard insect to photograph because it was in a busy background area of my garden. It sensed my presence so went into its praying pose. After trying several approaches the "original" photo was my best catch. Cropped and turned the photo in Snapseed and did minor editing. The feathery white seedpods are from my milkweed. Which think is the best: Original photo or repositioned one

Lynne, I never have had a chance to shoot a Praying Mantis. The Milkweed part of the image is great. I have friends who plant Milkweed seeds to attract Butterflies. Wonderful image. Posted: 10/06/2025 21:38:13
Wow what a great shot and the reposition is what makes it really work! Great choice. Posted: 10/07/2025 21:45:51
