The Itsy Bitsy Spider


revxus

I tried to capture this amazing pose, and focused on the spider's web to portray the entrance of her burrow.

I have been told this reminds most of a scene from a horror movie.

Be aware, this is a real live tarantula - in fact, one of my most

aggressive tarantulas in my collection (Ephebopus murinus).

 

Taken under natural sunlight, tweaked with a photoshop filter to

give it the "sepia" look.

I like how you focused on the silk instead of the spider. It gives the photo a much more menacing feel.

Awesome composition. The silohete of the spider coming around the corner in its defensive pose really works, did you have to stir it up for this? Sepia was a very good choice for this image. Very well done indeed :)

Thanks to everyone for their positive critiques, if it wasn't for you and this site I would have never been able to show my work. I appreciate you guys!

 

And yes, Brad, I did have to stir her up a bit for this shot, but she's a feisty one even when the lid of her cage opens - her senses go into HIGH GEAR so I must be careful, wouldn't wanna get bit by 1/2" fangs!

Excellent sense of suggestion. Only thing I can add is do more like this one with the same model. You cannot do anything with a single one.
