	Anthony Grimley said: I'd swear the mantis is looking right at the camera. A great use of the dandelion to brighten and complement the mantis. Nice and simple, and great! 09:23 on March 20, 2008

	andrewfuller said: Thought from the thumbnail that this was a flower shot, but the Mantis in there makes this into something really special. The vignette works a treat too Gareth. Congrats on MPOTD. Cheers, Andrew. 10:48 on March 24, 2008
