Hi

A striking image - I like the warming aspect of the lower OOF colour

All the best
Matthew

Terrific image. Great color, contrast and composition. Interesting perspective/view of this spider. And it doesn't hurt that you used my favorite focal length of 300-400mm for close-ups of insects, which gives great isolation of the subject and OOF background.

Nicely done, good detail in this image. I assume this is cropped some, unless this is a particularly big spider?

Yes, this was a significant crop.

Great pose, beautiful light- this really shows how the spider is neatly blended with the greens and shapes of the plant.
