jacob, nice catch! can see you had had a bountiful morning in AMK

i think the spider is oversharpen. can see radioactive halo around the legs... :think:
 

Hi Jacobs, nice to meet you :)

You do have some good catch! Keep shooting ~

I find that most of your images seem over-saturated...PP? :think:

Thanks seefei. :)
:embrass: I am still very weak in controlling of lighting ...still in learning stage from our senior ~ I think the most improvement on my lighting is because of the DIY diffuser I am using now. It really help alot to reduce harsh lighting. (credits go to David :) Who give me this material to use for my DIY diffuser)
 

Good shot you taken this morning Jacobs :)
Nice mantis shot.
Crab spider a little hash, crab spider is not easy to take is easy to get burn. for crab try to lower your flash power or iso

Don't give up :thumbsup:
 

This outing is on coz of Ben's never say die spirit and persistent the morning rain will stop. :thumbsup:

Jacob,
Can see you had a fun time with so many captures. Not too bad. I am sure your lighting has improve with the DIY diffuser.

Jane,
Good shot for AMS despite a wee bit soft.

Seefei,
The DIY diffuser is just a rectangle or round piece of plastic material (can be plastic plate, foam plate or milk bottle material) placed on front end & top of macro lens/raynox supported by rubber bands hooked around lens.

Good shot on #1
#2 kinda soft
#3 can improve on the composition
#4 focusing is a tad off & its bum is burnt. Take note of your flash ;)
 

#1 is a good shot, nice contrast of brown & green & nice bg but its too tight a shot. #2 is nice too ;)
