I found this spider hanging out in our Mexican Azaleas and found it's

colors facinating. Would love to hear comments and suggestions.

Tracey, I do indeed like the colors on your spider.  I also like that you did not center the spider in the frame as many would have done.  The highlighted web also adds to the strength of the image.  In post, you might get the colors to "pop" a bit more by adding a slight bit of contrast and saturation, but be very careful not to overdo it as the nature experts don't like unrealistic colors.  I'm not sure what lens you used to get this close, but on my monitor the spider appears a bit soft as if the focus were very, very close, but not quite right on the body.  A final consideration, if you find this little guy again, might be to get his legs entirely in the frame.  Just some opinions from someone who is still relatively new to this game. Great eye to grab this shot!

Square cropping might be taken in consideration Tracey!

Warm regards!
