Nice perspective. The shadow looks nice. The details are good. Just a thought, you could have lowered the camera a bit to get the bottom legs in full. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one. More space at the bottom would have been better. How did you click. Were you physically holding the leaf?

[Atul Sinai]

Very nice work, loved it.

Sabyasachi, I was attracted to shadow first, then I realize it a mantis.. At that time my tripod leg was broken. so shot with handheld. due to wind, leaf was unsteady continuous. .. i have to physically touch the leaf from back side only for to stay calm.
Thank you..

A nice attempt at a different perspective. Agree about including the legs, but it seems the conditions were not very favourable. I would try cropping out the hint of sky along the right margin.

Different and nice, agree with the above comments on including the legs in full.
