It seem like the mantis is changing contact lense

the shallow DOF works for me in this case

nice eyes ! you might want to crop til the head falls into a natural focal point off center ...nice colours too... where did you catch this ?

willyfoo · 14th March 2005

Agreed... the narrow DOF works very well here... good catch!
