[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This little mantis just squeeze himself out from the egg case, namely Giant Malaysian Mantis. Its dark brown in color while still young. However when it shed its skin for the first time, its color started to turn light green.
At first, i try to have black as bg and it might give a better effect for the whole photo. But i choose to have the natural bg as the way it is.
Hope you all like it. Any ws done to increase its effect is encouraged.
Nikon Coolpix 3700.

Beautiful little beast, and what big eyes! Good composition and POV. I think sharpness could easily be improved with Photoshop using USM filter. Good lighting conditions ! TFS, Patrick
