Argiope anasuja (100% crop, head parts)

Same frame

Today morning found the signature spider at the same spot on the terrace. This

time I used a couple of flashes which didn't seem to bother her. Still lacks some

light from the front, but this has a different feel than the other one in this folder

from yesterday. The head is pointed down, as is usual for these yellow and

black spiders. You can see the eyes on opposite sides if you look carefully.

The full frame is below, but does not look good at this size. Thanks for viewing.

Any comments and suggestions?

While they are totally different pictures, I think I prefer the full spider shot. It is less confusing and has a wonderful abstract quality to it. The web creates a nice background and setting but does not hinder the abstract. I find the closeup to be difficult to look at and confusing as an image. There is too much infomation to absorb. However it is a good sharp image. - Charles

I like the full composition as well Neel!  It's a wonderful shot that fills the page with its dramatic shape, and I can tell what it is.  The cropped version has neat coloring and texture - and is rather unusual, but although I can tell its a really crawly thing that I don't want to get too close to - I can't see what it is.  I guess it all depends on what you're after!  BTW, I like all of your photos - chrispixelalias at creativelive

I do like this cropped photograph. It causes curiosity, makes an impact on the viewer. The original photo is much less dramatic than this one.
