Good find!
The lighting is pretty harsh. Direct sun is tough. I usually carry a small collapsible diffuser (the circular kind that fold to 1/3 full size) for times like this.

Very good capture! The light looks good to me but I think the colors are a bit oversaturated(?)

Nice shot. Interesting colors - did you edit them, by any chance?

Put something blue behind your mantis. Maybe it will look like a sky.

Maybe I should just give up on the pp altogether. Usually I work with photography on a laptop and the angle of the screen makes a difference. Thanks for your comment.
