Amazing! God's mind is beyond grasping. The detail he gave everything, living or not. Thank you Lord.
While speaking with Zohre, we learned more about the inspiration behind her macro photography: “Macro photography reveals a world filled with incredible details that are often hidden from our everyday view. For me, it's enjoyable because it reminds us that the world isn't just for humans—it's also home to insects and tiny creatures. There are so many things we don't notice with our normal eyesight; we might walk past them or even step on them without realizing. Macro photography allows us to appreciate the intricate beauty of these small, often unnoticed aspects of nature.
He reminds me of my ex-boyfriend when I'd say something like "Honey, have you seen the cake I made for your Dad's party?".
I'm guessing it has no blue pigment, just that it refract(?) The light to make it appear blue?

We asked Janati to share more about this unique shot, and we learned that: “While photographing this little mantis on a sunflower, my lens startled it, causing it to adopt a defensive posture. I had never seen a mantis react this way before, and at first, I was a bit frightened and instinctively stepped back. However, as I observed its beautiful wings and unique body shape, I was captivated and decided to capture the moment. It turned out to be one of my favorite shots to date.”
When my mother made me play softball every summer, i'd sit on my glove in the outfield and try to catch these.
Sounds like you were a very dedicated sportswoman 😄

Beautiful shot of the hummingbird moth! I see them sometimes but never have my camera with me.
That orange inside the black is striking. I have never seen a moth like that.
What a wild looking praying mantis.They watch you when you walk near them.
Zohre, you forgot to remove the pixels between the fly and the stick. Otherwise, great macro iamge!
