Hey Carlo,
Excellent sharpness . I also like the curved position of the mantis although I wish the near foot wasn't obscuring the face and the shadow side is a bit distracting so opening it up a bit may give this even more impact. Still a nice job overall on this.

Carlo, great pose, great composition...my one comment would be to possibly extend the canvas along the bottom of the image...showing a little more of the stem of the plant and opening up the image just a tad. Nice capture!

A different looking pose. Very nice. I like the idea of opening up the shadows a bit and perhaps a bit more saturation.. Very sharp and really nice dof. Good for you.
