These didnt get much of a response in Photo Critique, so I guess I'll pass them through here for you guys to see again. These first 3 were taken with my 28-135mm @ 135mm with all 3 tubes, @ f/16ish and something like 1/200th SS

This last shot is of a lizard I saw in bermuda. he was at an odd angle on a wall, so i couldnt get too creative, and I was also leaning out a window so yea, just went for the simple capture.

I don't recall seeing these in the Critique - I'm glad you posted over here! I don't post too much in that "other" forum anymore. Just occasionally to see if they are awake up there :p

I like that first shot of the praying mantis. I've been looking for any in my parts and haven't come across a one yet :(

Glad to see you getting use out of your tubes, man!

Got to go with the first image here as the real keeper. Nice job. Working with the tubes does take some getting use to. I found out right away that I was going to have to use some support the body was just not steady enough on it's own. With the longer lens I like using the monopod with the shorter and the closer working distance I go for the tripod.

That top image is indeed the strongest of them, but it's a shame about the tightness on the bottom which cuts off a foot.

I love the first one indeed. I cropped the right side a bit tighter, but I'm not sure if I like it.

I didnt notice the foot paul, thanks for pointing that out, maybe i can photoshop something up to get it back in the frame. I'll see

Nice work speedingsphere, im afraid im going to have to go for the little lizard, allthough you were in a difficult position capturing this, i love shots that focus on the animals eye, (tells alot about an animal) and you have done this well.:thumbsup:

True, but the OOF foreground elements killed it
