This is all I got from the field shots  Thanks to Bro luvin for his support with a slave flash..  This is as big as I can crop.. any more .. grainy.. already it looks grainy ..  Just to give those who were not at the outing a pespective of how BIG the mantis is  And Yes the focus is off for this shot ..  C&C alway welcome |

I love the first pic. The third pic is focused on the finger nail?? Here are some of mine. Very first macro shoots    Model of the day  To prove the above statement  Thanks to Steve for spotting this... Scoldings are welcomed. Trung |

Thanks Like this most.. Generally I feel that for the rest the flash is too harsh.. try using PS to decrease the hilight a little.. Very much better than my first try ... ;D |

Hi Lowlights, I think this is your sharpest. I've got critised when the colour of the background is as strong as the insect, but I like this one leh:) Trung, nice meeting you. I like this one too! |

bigu2fan: I like the sharpness in your fly's head. It's beautiful, your shot makes me realize that it's the similar shot that Steve did (his is more sharp in the body). Prob the same fly lor  lowlights: thanks, i agree that those pics are too harsh. Must master PS at some point. USM:I like the spider. I think that's the one we met at the first place...

Looked like a snail to me but it can jump and fly. 
Look at the back of it, a smooth and shiny back, quite reflective.
