I like the contrast between the dark brown bull and the green vegatation - I especially like that the bull is looking straight out at you.
Unfortunately for me the small tree trunk on the right is very distracting. I took the liberty of doing a little editing using the photoshop remove tool. I've attached the edited photo, hope you don't mind. |

Very nice composition. One suggestion - crop from the top to just under the bright branch coming down from the top. The high brightness and contrast at the top takes my eye out of the picture. |

Closest I've ever been (visually) to a Praying Mantis. You said it was under a jar - did you shoot through the jar? That might explain a couple "spots" in the photo - especially on the right.
Two suggestions - one, crop in from the right most of the way to the leg joint to bring more attention to the mantis body. second - try and emphasize the shadows to give more of a sinister look to the picture in line with the "formidable predator" theme. |

If I look hard, I see a face. Funny how our brains want to assign a pattern even if there isn't much there. Interesting colors. |

Great composition and colors. A few suggestions - which are "taste" dependent, so ignore if your taste is different.
The saturation level of the flowers doesn't seem to match that of the grass - which is a much more muted green.
Perhaps increase brightness of the area between the tracks in the middle third of the picture. I think it would help draw my eye deeper into the picture, while right now it tends to stay at the bottom.
The top of the railroad track on the left is "hot" and for me is a distraction - can it match the brightness of the rail on the right?
Again - great photo - just a few suggestions

Photo serves as a good record of the event. Did you do any post processing? Colors are good, but I think contrast could be increased. |

Thanks Suzanne.
The "red dot sight" is the generic name. From Wikipedia:
A red dot sight is a common classification[1] for a non-magnifying reflector (or reflex) sight that provides an illuminated red dot to the user as a point of aim. A standard design uses a red light-emitting diode (LED) at the focus of collimating optics, which generates a dot-style illuminated reticle that stays in alignment with the firearm the sight is attached to, regardless of eye position (nearly parallax free).
Red dot sights are considered to be fast-acquisition and easy-to-use gun sights for firearms used in civilian target shooting, hunting, or in police and military applications. They are also used on cameras and telescopes. On cameras they are used to photograph flying aircraft, birds in flight, and other distant, rapidly moving subjects. Telescopes have a narrow field of view and therefore are often equipped with a secondary "finder scope" such as a red dot sight to orient them.
I purchased the Olympus version because its designed to be used in the camera's hot shoe (I needed a cheap adapter to use with Sony). The sight can be used on any camera with a hot shoe since it doesn't draw power from the camera. |
