“Reflective Prayer” By Steve Moga

Today’s Photo of the Day is by Steve Moga and was submitted to the Green Assignment.

“I returned to my car after an evening errand to find a Praying Mantis on the hood,” said Moga. “After my five minute drive home, he was still holding this pose, which I captured.”

Photo of the Day is chosen from various OP galleries, including Assignments, Your Favorite Places and the OP Contests. Assignments have weekly winners that are featured on the OP website homepage and several images from the Assignment Gallery are picked to be featured in The Best Of Assignments section in the print magazine. To get your photos in the running, all you have to do is submit them.
