The Killer

Rancho Bernardo, CA

There are two short stories about this shot. First, this is to acknowledge Kent and Kay who left this piece of art as a house present last week. Kent was around many years ago when my second marriage imploded, and since the Praying Mantis eats its mate he thought that I might identify with the gift. ;=(

Secondly, I have attempted to recreate a lighted stage as outlined in a CD I received from NAPP.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Pretty neato, Robin. It almost looks like a cartoon character.

WOW! I love it:).Looks like alot of work?(hard to do).

Good experimentation Robin. Esp like the colors. I notice the PM is genderless -- do both species enjoy canabalism?? If so where do I get a copy of this masterpiece, lol!

I have a feeling this is going to be a popular photo. This is TOO COOL!

Wonderful image! Very cool design!

Wow! Fabulous colors. Striking image. Both male and female eat aphids, too.

Wow, eats it's mate!? Some of us would have a lot more to chew than others! Very creative image.

Great light, effect and cool praying mantis!

I pray you'll MAN this stage with more art soon =)

Gary Winters		23-Oct-2005 02:26
You didn't say whether you could identify, but lemme tell you, I can! I like the figure, and I'm not quite convinced that the photoshop trick looks like a stage. That said, it's still cool with great colors!

Cindy Flood		23-Oct-2005 01:25
I love your artistry, but your imagery is kind of scary.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		23-Oct-2005 01:15
Great effect. What a story.

Al Chesworth		22-Oct-2005 22:41
Brilliant, the artistry is outstanding. Voted. However, how any one can stand to marry for a second time is beyond me. Unless the first marriage was so good.

Guest		22-Oct-2005 21:56
outstanding piece of work vote

Nice effect... Lighted stage, you say? Kent is a thoughtful friend... interesting meaningful gift.
