Praying Mantis (C)

Well, sort of captive.  She hitched a ride on my pants when I was out working on a local preserve a couple of days ago, so I brought her home to photograph.  I chilled her a bit to help her stay where I put her and did the photography this morning while it was still pretty cool out.  After I was done, I put her in one of our gardens.  Of the three "perches" I tried, this was my favorite.

5DIII, 180 mm f/3.5L  macro, tripod and cable release, f/16, 1/10, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, +1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to a 4x5 format of 17.5 MP before resizing.  Taken this morning at 6:45 AM with fog filtered sun.

Comments and criticisms are really appreciated.

Thanks,
