Default I swear he's smiling... (Macro)

Mantis that was minding his own business till he saw me with a macro and a ring flash. He stopped to pose before moving along. I actually have a couple with ring flash catchlights in his (i guess) eyes. Pretty cool stuff.

Cheers,
Steve

Looks like he's been bronzed . Great capture.

Great Capture Steve! These guys generally aren't the least bit afraid of being photographed. You really nailed the focus on this one.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.

That is so cool! He looks like he's made out of gold. The detail and focus is sharp as a tack. Nice job!
