good pose - perhaps you can play a bit with the light in post-processing, so as to focus attention on its menacing expression?

Hi Balan,
I think you did quite well for this single shot. The diagonal composition, subject and background are very nice........................Jim

That's a spectacular mantis, with its green and white colors. It stands out nicely against the light background and you've got good sharpness on the face and front of the body.

Never saw this type of striped mantis before, Balan. Very exotic find and a fine capture. I like the pose and bg.
