Mantis...Close up

Spotted this beauty at the gym, so got it carefully to my room and did some experiment on Macro photography...unfortunately this was in the night so had to use artificial light...

Wish you had placed it down, instead of holding it in your palm. The eye contact is nice, but I think there is some shake. More space on the top to include the antennas in full would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Mrudul, placing it on something other than your palm would have helped. Placing it on a potted plant would have given it a more natural feel. You seem to have gone a little too close here, but I suppose you wanted a portrait (?) The highlights at the top right are a bit distracting.
TFS, look forward to more.
