22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Violin mantis
In this elegant photo, a Violin Mantis perches delicately on a branch against a clean white background. Its slender, elongated body, resembling the graceful shape of a violin, is highlighted in fine detail. The stark simplicity of the background draws all attention to the mantis' unique form, from its long, spindly legs to the intricate patterns on its exoskeleton, creating a refined, almost sculptural composition that exudes natural artistry.
