GHOST MANTIS TAKING A DRINK

This is one of six mantids I bought last week, for the purpose of photography. This is from the first shoot I have done with them, specifically I worked with the male Ghost Mantis seen here.

I have to say, he was a great model for his first time in front of the camera. If you want to see the rest of the shots I took of him, and how he looks complete (this is just a shot of his upper body), you can simply click on the thumbnail to go to the gallery.



I am always grateful for any comments you may care to give on my images, so please let me know what you think (good or bad). I am always happy to receive constructive criticism, it all helps me improve my work.

Many thanks for looking.

Very nice -- excellent use of lighting to create the negative space. Took me a minute to find all his bits, but once I did, everything is incredibly sharp, right down to his eyes. Imagine trying to find him in the wild! Nice shot.
