Praying Mantises

Sion

Hi, I recently posted these up in the wildlife threads but was then told about this particular section so I thought I'd share. These are some recent pictures that Ive been taking of praying mantids at my University. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

very good, getting interesting compositions.

the first peacock portrait is very bright ,all highlights blown., 2 nd portrait is much better.

i guess you have noticed how difficult it is to get eye detail on the flower mantis compared to the other species:D
