Hi Mendis,

I like the #1 and #3, wish the #2 is in portrait. This would be more dramatic( I guess).

Cheers.

Well, not sure what your settings are but the DOF is abit shallow for some. But the focus is spot on for all.
And as you asked....

#1: Composition is ok as its a nice and green. But it may be abit to spacious (but that is a preference thing). Can the lens take a closer crop of the little jumper? DOF is also shallow.....cannot see the details of the mouth.

#2: Nice angle of the mantis. A little nit is that maybe the antenna could be in the frame...or a PS trick is to clone it off at the tip...as if it end within the frame.

#3: very interesting subject. Abit too center and DOF is abit shallow.

#4: As mention, this is the fav of the lot. Only nit is the white blob behind, but a good moment capture nevertheless.

Just some 2c. Hope you can frankly critic my recent spider shots too....thanks!

Thanks feimao. Just to add on with tchuanye's comments,

D100 on manual, 1/100th, f/22, flash at -0.7 EV.

#1 the spider very small. Even with 25mm extension on the 90mm, this is the maximum i could get.

#2 My PS skills not so good. hee hee Will try!

#3 Very delibrate of me to center it.. Again, damn small bugger, and the tree bark texture I thought, personally, allowed the subject to be centered.

#4 Can PS or not ah? the white blob?
