Nice shots.

i like the beautiful creamy backgrounds.

Thank you all for your nice words.The creamy b/g is the result of using long focal length.

Thanks bro.The assassin bugs were taken at slow speed and there were motion blur. I try to rescued the water droplets and over sharpened.

alan, at 1.4X TC of your 200mm Macro, how close were you to the assasin bugs when you snapped the pic? the motion blur was bcos you were doing hand-held?

Hi B-setting,actually its not my intention to put on the 1.5 Tc for this shot.The 200 mm will have enough reach especially so when the assassin bug is considered big enough.Its just that I don like to remove the TC on and off. In This case ,they are about 2 ft away.So with 300 mm, and speed of 1/8 s,there will definitely be motion blur even though I got a solid tripod.
