Such a great shot being ruined by that white object taking control. It keeps making my eyes feel blurry when I focus on the mantis. I'd clone out the white. What an adorable pose though! Great capture of a moment! ~ Lonnit

Thanks Nugar and Rich. I took this pic in the first couple of days after buying my A80 (since sold and bought S1) and if I remember correctly I was shooting everything on "vivid" setting which probably explains some of the apparent overexposure. alexoki

I think this image is beautiful. But I also think it is overexposed. With a bit of exposure compensation, the mantis would have shown more detail.

I like the background colors they contrast well with the green mantis.
