Mantis on Lotus - Wide

Going back through these and trying to correct under exposure...how

is this version...please compare to the other...unbelievable that I

looked at previous versions and did not just see them as muddled

and dark....

excellent image the best for me is  to crop the upper image congrats gerolamo

Seems you got the mantis to pose for you, Ellery!

At times 3:2 can be a constricting ratio...

I think that is a fair point...

I think I could chop off some of the top of this image and improve it
