On that day, I was lucky to meet a very special model of a tiny green mantis perched on a lying flower. In silence, I approached with a macro lens, hoping to capture the beauty at close range. It turns out, this mantis is not only attractive, but also stylish.
First he stood majestically on the flowers. Show off perfect posture. The first catch was successful, and I smiled with satisfaction.
But the adventure isn't over yet. Unexpectedly the mantis jumped onto my finger! As if he knew that I was a photography fan, he calmly posed there, presenting various stunning poses.
Every movement of the mantis felt like rehearsed choreography. He turned his head, lifted his feet, and even looked directly into the lens, as if he understood that he was being immortalized. I managed to capture 13 different poses, each with its own unique character and beauty.
Taking these photos was an amazing experience. This little mantis was the star of the day's photo shoot, and I'm so proud to be able to share the results with you all. Each photo is proof of how nature can provide surprises for those who are willing to wait and observe.
I hope, through these photos, friends in the #PhotographyLovers community can feel a little of the magic that I experienced when I took them. This is the natural beauty that is sometimes hidden, waiting to be discovered and immortalized through the lens.
