^Another +1 on Lew's comment.
Nice colorful flower, and good composition, although it's a shame you weren't able to get on the other side of the flower to get the praying mantis in front and the flower behind it.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I wish that I was able to get the shot from the other side also, but the bushes where in the way. As for the framing, I haven't cropped it yet. I realize I could have done better in the initial taking of the photo, but I get a little over excited sometimes when I find something like this to photograph. Thanks again for your comments.
