Cheers Yen I'm enjoying trying to capture the details, perfect little critters to practice photography with.
They have all molted to L6 now but here's a few pics of my only male while he was still L5 that I thought was actually female until recently, now he get's three ladies to choose from when the time comes. Awesome
And a 2 frame stack that at first I liked and then the blurry front antennae between the sharp eye and back antennae got to me. Quite often with the creos one antennae is moving faster than the other or one still and one moving so I do get pics that look like this but seeing as though it was a stack I though i'd try and Photoshop another one in.
Anyway, please let me know if an of em look ok, does it look natural? Should I have just left it alone?
The 2 frame stack
The retouched one with added front antennae
Opinions appreciated as always.

Thank you MantisNation
Which one looks more realistic, retouched or original?
I need to start working on my backgrounds more though, I think there's lots of room fro improvement there.
