01 WINNER THE DUEL BY SABRINA GAROFOLI
This is an incredible shot of two mantis clashing heads, on a pre-posed stick with beautiful studio lighting. The side-on composition works well, and Sabrina has made sure to include all of both mantis figures, as well using a wide aperture of f/4.5 to blur the background and create some fantastic bokeh behind them.
