Wow, this is unique, I like the pov and the silhouette, nicely done focus point on the head and antennae.

Interesting take on this mantis. The silhouette emphasizes the alien look, as does the monochrome. From just the image itself, you can't tell the size of the mantis or the fact that this is just a newbie, but this does not detract from the image.
