Reclining figure

I enjoyed a visit to the Henry Moore Studios and Gardens with my husband.  We walked around in warm sunshine admiring these remarkable sculptures.  This reclining figure is in the Sheep Field on a mound dominating the surrounding countryside.  However, as we approached from a side angle, it occurred me that the figure somewhat resembled a praying mantis looming out of the surrounding grasses.

I've found in the past that the best time to visit is after some rain and with an overcast sky.  Then the rain settles like pearls on the bronzes.
