This little orb spider ( 5-7mm in size) was waiting on a leaf for its prey to come by.

Nice Macro Bev,
shame all the legs aren't in focus though,i love the BG though, it's blurred nicely but has an interesting shape to it...

Not in love with the subject but think it's a very nice capture and has beautiful colouring. Really like the BG looks like a stick of celery

My only crit is the same as Steve.

Thanks Steve and Maureen appreciate the feedback on this and your right about the legs, i should of used a smaller aperature to get a wider DOF, a valuable lesson learnt..thanks.

Bev you know I adore your pics. Why? Simple.

They are clear, crisp, uncluttered and appealing. This is your forte. I look forward to every post you make...( apart from the day you decide to do a life study of Andy Eos1nrs or steve mello in the nuddy noo....i have to draw the line somewhere)

This image is so damn pure its wonderful..No mess...just the subject with a hint of environment...bliss.

the background really makes this picture and, perhaps that what you were trying to do my using the wide aperature. After seeing this, it reminds me that I took a picture of a Black Widow Spider, the other day, but I can tell you, my background is not classy like this.

Tco, the biggest buzz i get from my photography is when people like you enjoy it, i cant deny its the greatest compliment when someone says your work is good, but i love to think that folk are actually enjoying and learning from my
passion..wildlife/animals through my pictures...this is a wonderful feeling and inspires me to go out and take more shots....for this il always be grateful.
p.s Would'nt life studies of Andy and Steve be the same as wildlife photography

Denny..you are a shining example of what i said above, you have gone out and had a go, and what more your damn good at it! this gives me such a thrill to see your pictures, so go seek and thou shall find (well i think thats how the saying goes)those creepy crawlies my friend..cant wait to see the results Den

Thanks Fay.. id love to see your picture of the Black widow, an amazing creature, and a great opportunity to see species i wouldnt be able to see otherwise.
