Ok so I was training Unexpected, one of my horses and my daughter was watching as she loves horses as well.
Then she says out very loud that there is a mantis that just flew right on the fence beside her!!!
My daughter has amazing eyes and she can spot any insect!
And the best part is that she is not afraid of them, she actually likes them!!
She even likes them too much sometimes and insist on bringing them home.....

So I'm busy with the horse and I see this mantis beside my daughter..
I ask her to go get my camera...
When she comes back, I ask her to hold the horse...
Unexpected is my biggest horse and my daughter is a little afraid of him, but he is such a sweetheart...
I managed to convince my daughter to hold Unexpected while I took some photos of the mantis until it flew away again..

One day I will have a macro lense...
But for now all I had was my 50 mm and I had to crop the picture a LOT so we see what the hell this bug is
Anyways, here's the mantis my daughter found

nice shot

i was bored

@@

Ah.. I haven't seen any of these guys around for a long time..

Oh what exactly did you do to it?
Added saturation right?
What else?

Looks like sharpened, increased clarity, noise reduction, increased saturation, adjusted green tint and resized

crop resize noise ninja(where i adjusted color noise, normal noise, clarity and sharpened a little), added levels layer that i erased it slightly from the mantis so that adjustment from layer looks good on both mantis and background, adjusted levels layer opacity, flattened layers, blurred bit background and slightly on some parts of the mantis so that when i sharpened the photo next it doesent get oversharpened, then i might have blurred a bit from here and there, saved, opened in irfanvier and added color enchantment

Enchantment :I

But you really made that picture pop I need to learn photoshop!! AFK watching photoshop killer tips podcast.
