Cute portraiture.
Superb up close & personal.
Sharply focused.
Well lighted composition depicting fine details, features and textures.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Verdant backdrop.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Congratulations!
Fearless forecast!

Xoxoxo...this is fantastic. Focus on the mantis is great. Color contrast is eyepleasing. Green background fits the brown mantis. This guy looks like smiling...:o)

Like it!

Well done and thanks for sharing.
