This is a great picture, Valere. I like very much light and background, reflection is merveilleuse but, unfortunately, not complete on the subject! (I tried to improve some aspects with photo retouch, if you're interested I will send you the result...)

Amazing creature and excellent photograph. I am always fascinated by the beauty and variety of insects. I have never seen this species before. We just have plain old green mantis, lol. I agree with mdilorenzo about the fact that the reflection is not complete. It is a great capture as it is but the full reflection would have made it even more dramatic I think. It seems that some photoshop magic could supply the missing parts of the reflection and be seemlessly added if one so desired. Thanks for sharing. Lee

Hello and thank you for your comments. For information, the photo was upright taken, it is for that reason that the reflection does not appear in its entirety, because behind, we would have seen branches.... But if you want to try of landing in this with a software, it is with big pleasure. Thank you and good day in all.
