Who knew spiders could look cuddly...

Your comments are welcome as always. Thanks, Line

great macro - wonder if he's worried about the bald spot on top :)

Hi Line,

  Wonderful macro of this wicked looking spider with wonderful details & colors.  Take care, Patsy

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated!

I am assuming the comment was from Gregory... hahaha how genders perceive things differently: you saw it as balding, I saw it as a cuddly baby monster!!!

great macro, love those eyes.

I love it, reminds me of mu Grandpa. Detail is stunning, and I love that we can see the eyes. The only think that "bugs" me is the blurry foreground. In some ways it makes the viewer think he or she needs reading glasses. I would crop closer to the spider both top and bottom. You took a really great picture, let the viewer enjoy the subject. Arachnid Awesomeness!

Your grandpa!!!   You are right I could have cropped a little more. I am always afraid to crop too much and end up with  the bug filling the whole frame. I just don't like that approach, I prefer to show them in context. As for the blur, it is inherent to macro photography...

Thanks again for your comment, much appreciated!

Sincerely, Line

Great shot of this furry little guy. He looks cute here but when I see one in my shower he looks like a pervert with his roving eyes and gives me the creeps; it makes for a very quick shower after which I take the little guy outside to "play". I'm glad you captured him on a leaf - eliminates the creep factor! Very well done. Thank you for sharing. :)

Excellent (7)

He does look very cute and its a brilliant shot, but I still wouldn't fancy cuddling him! : - ) 

Detail is exquisite! 

Compliments!

Thanks to each of you for taking the time to comment!

I am truly getting entertained with these comments... Thanks for the good laugh! From Gregory's balding guy, to Rich's grandpa and Trisha's peeping tom!!!!

An excellent result with impressive details and lighting, Line!

wide-eyed innocence!

Excellent and striking image. 

Cute?  OK.   Cuddly, no way!  

Thank you all fro taking the time to comment, always much appreciated!

Very nice macro Line.  Good sharp details and good isolation of the subject.  I love the face these little guys have!  Is it a jumping spider?  So Gregory saw balding, you saw cuddly...  I thought he was wearing a helmet--that might be my military influence...

Warm Regards,

Michael

Thanks for your comment. Yea...I can see him as a commander... He is indeed a tiny 5mm jumper!

Someone rated this 3...  Good thing we have comments to rely on...

Una magnífica macro Line, el detalle es estupendo, esa luz y colores de lujo, muy buena composición.

Excellent -- all what I can say!
