Title I'm thinking about is "Walking on Water"


So what do you think about the shot itself, and the thematic connection? Also over processed or no?

"Prayer Factor"....?
"Power of Prayer"...?
Walking on Water works great too.

Irregardless....LOVE the shot!

It's a really cool image. Maybe a tad over processed--but, I kind of like it that way. I'm missing the theme connection,though--maybe I need some coffee.

Neat photo and composition, depth of field and colors. Macro is something I've never tried, but always enjoy.

Not sure about connection to the theme though. I guess you're going for polished, as in the surface of the water, but I don't quite get it.

If the mantis was on something else like a chrome doorknob where you could see his reflection, that might be interesting. Though, difficult to capture I imagine.

I think that if you are trying to use the "polished" surface to sell the theme, then it is definately over processed....id that is water. There is a grainy texture nearest the bug that doesn't look like water...doesn't look glossy...or polished. Compositionally, it looks good to me!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I know the theme doesn't jump out, but it's kinda there. I still have some other ideas i'd like to try so we'll see.

I love this shot. I can see the theme in it -- water looks like a hard polished surface. But it's being upstaged by that wonderful praying mantis. I think you need to keep shooting.
