This is even better than your previous spider shot because the subject stands out more. Excellent image.

I like the pose with the legs around the leaves.

The pose and the background make for an exception shot. Very nice indeed!

I love this image. Those two legs crossed add some extra drama to this great image. And that water droplet near the front leg is another added benefit.

This is just insanely good. Easily the best spider photo I have ever seen, by many many miles!

Stunning..Great Luminance which is giving a stellar contrast for the blacks. Congrats on the EP as well !!

Very nice, great setting for the spider and DOF covers the legs well.
