Welcome Remy,

Superb separation of background and subject. Could you indicate some technical details?

After viewing your Flickr gallery I was particulary interested in the natural colour and texture you are able to achieve with your photography.

Welcome Remy,thats a nice introduction shot. The diagonal branch makes for a much more dynamic shot,cutting across the screen as it does. Nice shot!

It reminds me of when I was able to photograph mantises in the wild on one or more holidays in Spain. Spain is too beautiful to waste time in the costal resorts so I always go inland and tour over considerable distances.

It was unhelpful to you by pointing its right rear leg at the camera, requiring, maybe, one stop smaller to have had it fully in focus. But a very good shot, mainly because you got down to its level, rather than shooting from above.

Welcome to the forums remy. I agree on the angle. Beautiful composition and detail and the background is very nice.
