Never thought I'd say this about a mantis but....How cute! Unique pose and the added environment gives a nice perspective.

Maybe it was the wierd creature behind the big piece of glass. :biggrin: It's a great view, Balan, with good sharpness on the mantis and its antennae. The pose and your comp. do indeed make it seem to be peeking at you.

Classic "Peek a Boo" theme, nice details and I like the monochromatic frame Ian.
