A low angle shot of a Mantis religiosa nymph on a branch. I went for a bit of a wide approach, I wanted to include the triple branch on the bottom left corner, because it looks similar to what the mantis is standing on and it adds some balance to the frame. I placed my camera on the ground and had some grasses between my lens and my subject, because I wanted to add some foreground blur for a better sense of depth, and a "dreamy" effect.
