Ok decided I would give arty macro ago this afternoon.
Once again my poor little baby mantis was my model and a dandy lion flower head.
Used a strobe and softbox for the background and a shoot thru umbrella as main and my 150 macro + 1.4tc.

Only editing was selective sharpening and a white vignette added.

So with the results produced would this be called macro art?

Im trying my hand at this in the hope to maybe sell some of the images as posters or to a stock library.

Thoughts and comments on this will be much appreciated.

Cheers Gareth

    I think it is excellent and very arty :). Whether people would want a large bug poster on their wall I'm not so sure.
