Awww, It looks like somebody dented it's crown. It is cute how it's folded over like a cupie doll.

Very nice Joe. I really like the POV on the 3rd & 5th image and both high and low register values on the mantid. I also like your name placement and size, not as distracting as the last set you posted. Well done.

I am using the Canon 60D with the 100mm f2.8L macro lens.

Very nice. What lens are you using again...? I have been procrastinating my purchase for SO long...

BTW, why does that NOT look like a ghost nymph? Have I just never seen one that small AND plump?

oh dang, thats another lens to my collection im initially a horse photographer, so ive never had a use for a macro lens, but it looks like it will be more then necessary now

Very nice! gotta love those ghost! i love macro, as that is the best way to see such great detail that we would normally lose out on!
