Not one of my best compositions but one I am very happy with the results considering....I had just finished cutting the grass and noticed a lot of leaf hoppers jumping in the freshly cut short grass. I went to get my camera and when I looked through the viewfinder I realized I was seeing dozens of jumping spiders. To get an idea of the size of this guy that is a blade of fescue he is sitting on. I tried for good composition but at that magnification I was having trouble with my breathing making me loose site of him. I just shot away and hoped for the best. I would have liked to place him more to the right in the frame. This shot made a great 16x20

Placement looks OK to me, he doesn't look tight in front of him, and he's (she?) is not bull's eye centered.
Very interesting little thing, the detail is incredible, you should be proud!!

If you really wanted to you could crop it. I like it as is. Cross pol has worked a treat.

A slight crop from the right, or leave as is. Either works great in my opinion.

Neat shot. I love these little spiders but have never seen dozens at once. Looks like he's wondering who cut off his elevated highway.
