#2 is fantastic. simple and elegant.
really nice job.

#2 is a cracker imo.

great composition and it just seems the little guy is saying 'you can't see me!'

any chance of seeing the exif data? in particular aperture and focal length...

Exif as follows,

#1 . 105mm , 1/60th @ F20 @ ISO100
#2 . 105mm , 1/250th @ F18 @ ISO100
#3 . 105mm , 1/250th @ F29 @ ISO100

All shots were taken using an SB600 in a home made softbox (ust like ATJ's),using MY SB800 with a difuser on camera to trigger it, both on manual at varying powers.

The mantis himself was on a sheet of A3 white paper draped up the wall gently enough to show no creases.

I have to go with everyone else so far. #2 is a great composition Adam. It even gave me a giggle.

Very nice.

I usually much prefer bug shots in their natural surroundings but the contrast between the bug and the background in these are great.

Number 3 for me.. just to be different

I like the light used in constructing these shots... good expression in number 2

I like 2 as well , looks like he's smiling.

Nice even lighting and soft shadows - love it on the white background.
#2 should be on a TShirt with a wity caption
