This is the most beautiful painting! I feel lucky and blessed that I came across it! My husband and I honeymooned in Mo’orea and we had taken many pictures in front of this church. To find that Greg Collins painted it was such a joy! We will treasure it forever!

I was super-pleased with my photo print purchase! Like many people, I’m sure, when making online purchases there’s always just a little voice of skepticism in the back of my mind. I knew I liked the image, but had to roll the dice that it would look good in person, the frame would be adequate, etc. I must say it exceeded even my hopeful expectations! First of all, the packing was stellar. The photo print did look great in person, and the framing was WAY better than I was expecting! It was ready to go with a sturdy hanging wire already in place. Unfortunately it was a gift, so I don’t have a photo of it on my wall! I did, however, open and inspect it before wrapping it and re-shipping (in the same stellar packing!). I would easily recommend FineArtAmerica and will happily shop with them again in the future…worry free!

Artist's Description
This photograph was taken in my photo studio. I purchased this white rose rose from my local florist shop and a baby violin mantis on the internet from a website called mantisplace.com! After about five to six weeks I brought this baby violin mantis (only about 1 1/2" tall at the time) to my photo studio and let him walk freely on the white rose! I used a 140 macro lens with a #2 extension tube to get as close as I could to the rose and mantis filling up the entire frame with the image of both! After taking about 20 different photos of this little guy there were only about 3 which he was in the right position where you could see all of him very clearly extending his arms and this was one of them! A very unique interesting mantis in the the mantis species! This is a mantis you can have as a pet,and be raised under the the right climate conditions in your home! It feeds mainly on flies and other small insects and is extremely quick with it's forearms to grab it's prey and eat it live!
About Leslie Crotty
Welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy the experience and leave here passionate about the art of photography. I'm a Calligrapher and Photographer and studied both at Queens College (CUNY). I have a real affinity for both, but recently had to put my Pen nib on hold. After many years of photographing Weddings, Communions, Birthday parties and many other events, I discovered that I had more enjoyment photographing unique subjects in my studio. As a young boy, growing up in Greenpoint Brooklyn, I would frequently play marbles in the streets next to the curb. It was here that I first noticed a Praying Mantis and was immediately fascinated by how interesting and beautiful this little creature was. A passer-by noticed how intrigued I was...
