Picture of the Week 28/10/2008

Greetings! Many of you may not know me... I am the MIA Mod :)
Anyhow, it's time again for Picture of the Week and there were a some good ones out there this week including a particularly striking image of an old Chev and many nice shots of the local wildlife.

Anyhow this weeks pick of the pics stood out to me as it was technical in it's simplicity. Only two objects: A mantis (very aptly praying) and its habitation. Shallow DOF makes the face of the mantis jump right out!

Congrats Rooz for POTW!
