Fresh spider from my garden :)

Fill flash used for this shot.

Sorry if you are frightened by these animals ;)

disgusting and three dimensional. Normally I don't get the hebee jebees from pictures, but this one is so real, that it's an exception. Well done!

Wow! This is an excellent macro shot. The texture on the spider is great, and the color really separates it from the background. Great job!

Maic comment c'est possible que tu aies des bestioles pareilles dans ton jardin....! En tout cas, il semble que toi tu n'en aies pas peur ce qui t'a permis de prendre cette excellente macro ! Le décentrage du sujet est judicieux.

Excellent macro, Julien!Details and clarity are amazing .I know how hard is to get such a result . Anyway, I have to check better if also in my garden there are some spiders who want to be portraited :-) Anna

The detail is mind boggling. Perfect dof.

Oh my, I really hate spiders, and this is horrible!! :-) Great shot anyway.

Think I would prefer to flip the image top to bottom so I'm not staring at his ................... well ................. manhood ............................. (-;

My goal was originally to give it a "suspension" looking, but I will think about that :)

J'espère seulement que c'est une araignée du soir, Julien!!!
Couleur et lumière parfaites, le niveau de détail est impressionnant, et le cadrage exceptionnel.

Hi Julien! Just another wonderful Image!

I'll answer your question about the Lense later on I just arrived back - was out for the week and too busy for Internet ---

Congrats to your Image - keep up!

Mister Eleota you have rate 3-3 without leaving any comments. That's your choice and I couldn't contest it, but I would just remind you that you are rating the photo quality, I'm sorry if you dislike spiders but that's this you are rating, it's the photo, not your personal taste in everyday life. Now if it's the photo quality that is merely bad, please explain to me how to improve it and I'll be very pleased with that. If you are arachnophobic, why opening it ? I have droped a message to avoid that... Unfortunately, you haven't post any photo, so I don't know if I can accord credit to your ratings...

I didn't write down any comment as I do not speak English very well. The reason of my 3/3 is that I find this photo quite banal, as the spider taken from this position is one of most common subjects in macrophotography. I do not like it from an esthetic point of view. This is due to multiple elements, such as the irregularity of the spiderwed, the fact that the photo is not centered and does not comply with the rule of the third, the background is not blurred. The fact that you cannot evaluate any of my photoes is non relevant, as even if I were the worst photographer of the world this would not change my judgment. Anyway, I am planning to post my photos soon. Do not worry, it is not a personal matter; I do not see the name of the author when I express my rate, I just refer to the photo.

Ciao. Massimiliano

It is off centered, but rule of third for macro... I'm waiting to look forward your work.
