Orb Spider - Zingela

Great capture and composition.

That busy creature... Nice shot.

Great light and arrangement of image elements (the net versus the spider). The blurred background / DOF draws the attention of the viewer exactly to the right point / important element. Therefore, very well observed, composed and edited. Furthermore, the overall more slight contrasts in colors (greenish, yellow and dark blue / black hues, the yellow and dark ones however enhanced / supported by the framing - but "broken" by the spider's orange prey - a small beetle?) contribute to / create a very aesthetic impression in an excellent manner. Bw, Volker

Great colors and composition.

Congrats.

Thank you all for your comments.

Volker........ I think that the orange structures are actually the fangs of the spider (amazing how they can be so bright and colourful)..... thank you for your comment. 

Great nature shot. Beautiful composition and superb lighting. Congrats.

Great shot with very good lighting! Would have liked lower limbs not to touch frame edge, but perhaps this could not have been avoided. Congratulations.

Indeed the lighting here is an outstanding and so well technically balanced, there are also very find details of the main subject where as well the colors are so original and vivid, the blurred back ground has well isolated the Spider and its nest remarkably and enhanced the quality of the composition here.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.
