Nice 
Some of the little point-n-shoot cameras have pretty decent macro ability. I took some great photos of my shrimp with my wife's canon SD800IS.

The pictures above, I believe is of the SECOND female and the first one was dead somewhere until the male brought the body to the front of the tank.
Sadly I found one female dead. The male was breeding with the female and I noticed he was getting rough and was flipping her around everywhere. I separated the male from the female and she was not moving, and was a pale whitish color, her tail was also coiled into her body. I picked her up and she was lifeless, and was still coiled. I left her on top of a java moss ball, and came back to the tank 5 minutes later to find the male again breeding with the dead carcass.
I have now removed the dead female. And unsure if I am happy or sad to see the male has found another female to breed with. They were both in the position and the female fought him off and swam away.
My thoughts why this female was weak, because last night I found huge CPO molt, and maybe this was the deads females molt and was super weak and was still recuperating. This female was a monster more than an inch, and now lying dead in a mcdonalds ketchup to go container :/.
I snapped a ton of pictures thinking they were breeding, but I don't think I wanna post a male CPO sexxing a dead female -___-.
HOPEFULLY, the second female and the other 3 CPO in the tank, one actually lives to get berried and hatch their crawbabies.
5 CPO:
1 female (dead)
1 female
1 male
1 xx (unsure)
1 xx (unsure)
