Great shots! Your lighting really shows the textures.

One of the greatest models I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, she's a little bit of a diva. She got upset at one point during the shoot and nearly bit my head off!

I like the eye-level composition. Very imposing!

Here is another photo of the same mantis. This one makes me think of an alien mugshot.

Superb images! Top class macro photography...

Thank you!

Thanks! I do apply a touch of sharpening in post, which accentuates the textures, but I try to keep a light hand with that, as I often see macro shots that I feel are over-sharpened. Of course, it's a matter of taste to some extent...

... I think it would be nice if people would at least state which camera/lens combination they used to take the picture. I realize I could click the picture and see EXIF data on Flickr, but I'd rather not take that tangent if I don't have to. And it would be even nicer if one were to indicate the ISO value, shutter speed, and aperture setting as well. That only applies to pictures imported from other sites, of course, if we post the picture directly on this site, the EXIF data is immediately available, so usually no other helps are needed. I find I learn a lot from looking at how other people do things with the light they capture.

Speaking generally here, if someone takes the time to post a question about one of my photos on PF, I will answer even if the information is available over at Flickr. I have many times posted on PF details of my technique & photos of my rigs, including much info that one simply can't get from the EXIF.

That being said, I find it a little disconcerting that someone might like my shots enough to want to learn from them, but somehow can't be bothered to make the single click that is required to go look at the info on the shot. Flickr is my photo hosting platform. I put as much info about my shots as I can there. I even make the images themselves available for non commercial use under a Creative Commons license. Again, if someone takes the time to actually ask a question here, I will be as helpful as possible. But I won't start copy/pasting all the info from Flickr every time I post here just for the people interested enough about the photo to be curious, but somehow unwilling to make a single click to obtain more info.
