The mantis is well-framed on the stem, with clean focus on its form and posture. The shallow depth of field isolates the subject effectively, and the muted background keeps attention on the insect. The lighting is soft, revealing texture without harsh shadows.
The color balance is natural, and the composition feels balanced — the subject is positioned just off-center, giving the image a calm, observed quality.
One small thing: the mantis’s legs and antennae are slightly soft. A touch more sharpness in those fine details could add presence.
It’s a quiet, honest shot of a predator at rest. I’d like to know how you chose the focal point — was it the eye, or the forelimbs?
