Welcome Hung. A good first try. I used the same setup for my first stacks and I can tell you that lighting is one of the most important keys to a great stack.

I`ll add my "WOW" to this bunch also. Sharp and Beautiful lighting and background.

Great post and followup pictures. I never knew they were protective like that

"Welcome" to the forums John. All I`m going to say is "WOW" and I agree with everyone else. Fantastic Photo. Waiting to see more.

You did great missgecko. I have nothing like this in my collection of photos (and believe me, I have tried)

Very cool Ken. It`s always fun when you find something unexpected in your macro photos. Usually puts a big smile on my face (this one did too!).

It is amazing how many different eye configurations spiders have
Very nice photos.

Excellent find and fantastic information. It is one of those things that make science and nature amazing.

Excellent photo NS. The ant stands out very nicely from the red flowers. Great DOF. Looks like a very nasty critter IMO.

I want some alien looking mantis around where I live A beautiful photo & creature.

Beautiful Hopper noodle_snacks. It is amazing how many shapes, sizes, and colors these insects come in.
