Hi Fartash,

I think this is first juvenile mantis I have seen and it is fascinating. I love the pose. This could be called a Study in Green and the green shades are lovely with the insect standing out in fine deatail.

Hi Fartash,
The mantis stands out very well from the background. I liked the shallow depth of field, the color tones, details and the composition. TFS

I feel "Praying Mantis" is a very apt name for this insect, Fartash. Your image shows as if it is actually praying in a traditional stance.
The image is well captured in the natural daylight. The DOF is perfect at f/11.
Thanks and all the best.

Hello Gain Fartash,
These creatures are amazing, one of my favorites in the insect world. You captured it showing how well this animal can blend right into the environment. It looks as though it's ready to snatch it's next meal. Very nice capture. :)
