How sweet! I like those.
Too bad it's not more focus, and less blurr and grainy parts.

It's technically not perfect: the DOF is a tad too shallow, resulting in a blurred head. But, considering the limits of your gear that's very well done! Keep on practising, I'm sure you're able to take some very nice close up shots!! Composition is really good, colours are nice too!!!

the mantis is alil out of focus on its back, but with out using a macro lens it is hard to get it exact well dont it is a good capture
