Mantis on a crocus

A low angle photo of an Ameles heldreichi on a Crocus nivalis. I took this photo on a mountain near Athens. I love the threat the mantis adds to the otherwise peaceful and serene image.

Silent Dune

This image is an attempt to portray the moment when nature, in its utmost simplicity, reaches its purest visual expression—where silence itself becomes the central subject.
