Thank you for your comments. We came upon this pride in Etosha park one morning. They had made a kill right beside the road and were all resting up after a big meal, so they were very relaxed. This was shot about 3 M from the car, very close.

Shortly after this the mantis left the feeder and flew over to the wall on my side porch. The next day I counted five males after this one female...she must have had some powerful pheromones. At least one mated with her and we have an egg case on a nearby plant, hopefully a new batch of bug eaters next year!

Thanks, Cathy, to you and all who commented. This is a ruby throated humming bird, they are emerald green on the back although it does not show it here. The males have a bright red throat so this one is a female or immature male. We have several dozen hanging around the house and if you are still you can approach to withing a few feet of the feeder without disturbing their activity. I have never been bitten by the mantises around the farm, maybe yours are different there. This bird was guarding the feeder and fighting off all the other hummers trying to eat. It did not know what to do with the mantis, maybe never had seen one!

Preying mantises can be quite aggressive, I have had a a nasty encounter. They bite and don't let go! So this image makes me unsure about the safety of this sweet little bird. Is it really purple? Was the bird game to land?
You have done a great job with the background, the "action at the feeder" is perfectly focuused.CC

Thanks to you and everyone for your comments. I think the scene is properly exposed, the grass was very bright in the afternoon sun and the elephant's dusty skin was also very light. I wanted to put this big guy front and center coming straight at the observer since that is how it was at the time I took the photo. When you are close to a big elephant in the bush, he will be the center of your attention, I assure you, so I made him the center of the photo.

Wow Philip! Too good to be true  !
I love the colours, exposure and DOF. The image is so dramatic, and highlights the perspective! Absolutely classic! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Philip!
Great moment and well captured! Few tips: I felt it would have been more dramatic if you applied the rule of thirds, or got a angular shot of the giant! Also, I am afraid if it is slightly over-exposed (not sure if it is about my pc screen)! However, it is a beautiful image!
Cheers, NN
