the best (for sale) Spider on canvas

A title I might expect to see in an art gallery. Ha!!  Interesting blend of color here. Nice detail in larger view.  I can see the eyes clearly!! How big is it??? No visual reference for me to tell.  AJ

Hi Pierre,

  Oh my how I hate spiders, but this is amazing with wonderful colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

Pierre...

Bravo!  Excellent post-processing and great detail.  

Hi, AJ!

It took me time to remember which one was this one and if I haven't mistaken this picture was taken on my palm because he didn't want to rest in the jar in which I put him to take picture! He even killed in a moment the one I put in there to make him company! Then I decided to confuse him and poured him on the back of my hand at took this snap shot! 

Thank you for your visit!

Hey, Patsy!

Many people hate them and I love them, if not for anything else then because they are good models mostly!

Thank you for your visit and nice comment!

PDE

Hey, Bill!

Thank you, it was easy to post process him after he had been selected on a PSD, the making of the PSD file was really a problem, I mean much precise work!

First, what a superb photo of this exciting Arachnid!  Second, from the thread size this guy must be at least 3" (7.6 cm) tip to tip!  Getting this close would not be comfortable for me :-).... Mike

He wasn't that big, Mike!

Only maybe 2 cm from tip to tip or at most 3cm! The feeling was good when I surprised him by pouring him from the jar to my hand! He stood still confused and then I took the picture!

Thank you for your nice comment!

Interesting color combination, Pierre! I like this brown graduation. Best wishes my friend.

Thank you, Evgeni!

The texture isn't mine, I just put him on it!

PDE

A beautiful result with very nice details, Pierre!

Thank you, Ruud!

Un ragno, un insetto bello ma comunque inquietante. Penso che sia nelle paure inconsce di tutti gli uomini. Qui da noi si dice che trovarli anche piccoli nelle case non vanno uccisi, porta sfortuna: forse perché è importante saper convivere con le cose che temiamo e che ci affascinano!

Ciao, amico aracnoideo!

A little too much realism for a PD image! Never would have guessed it was yours. I like all the texture - canvas and spider. 

Well, lethal at least for the company it doesn't like, according your sayings. It certainly got the looks! I perfectly understand your attraction, Petraki, by this creature. What is admirable in this straightforward capture (that puzzled your audience and put everybody in worries about your good health), is the great effect the rug gives with its texture and shaded wrinkles to this certain angle. Of remarkable mention the fine details of this spider~enough to create some arachnophobia reactions! Yassou file!

Sono d'accordo con tutto quello che ha detto, tranne me che sono un aracnoide (che io non so cosa vuol dire esattamente, forse un amante ragno). Ma, devo escludere le mosche e le zanzare che appartengono alla stessa famiglia! Io uccido loro non solo perché non li sopporto, ma anche perché Baal-Zebub significa il padrone delle mosche! E noi tutti sappiamo chi è!

La ringrazio molto per il tuo commento educativa

Ciao Mau

Pietro in pace con ragni

Hey, Jim!

Expensive guest, welcome!

Maybe you don't accept my surrealism and abstracts and don't visit me more often, this realistic (to some extent) picture is here to attract realists maybe, ha!

Thank you for your precious visit and kind comment!

Hristaki,

You are right in everything you said! I forgot to mention that these spiders are considered deadly poisonous and the people there, on the border with Greece call them Greek spiders! Otherwise once upon a time I was bitten by a scorpion there and spent two days in hospital! 

Efharisto poli for your precious visit and your thorough exploration of the image and everything on this page!

Very good clarity and I like the canvass background.

Vrlo oštra fotografija i moram da priznam da se pauk i platno na kome stoji  odlično tematski poklapaju čineći atraktivnu celinu. Dobar rad i odlična kontrola svetla. Čestitam Pero!

Thank you, Tony!

I also like the canvas background, but, alas it isn't mine!

Cheers to that

Hey, Sreten!

I meni se dopala ta ideja pa sam napravio u dva-tri poteza!

Hvala majstore!

Veliki pozdrav

PDE

Well thought out presentation of a spider. Great work, Pierre!

Hello Pierre.

Successful landing! All what I can say.

It takes time and patients to "help" this creature get there!

:-)
