creepy spider but wonderful macro shot... love the softness and colors

[Rachel Hope]

Great focus and color...although I am not happy with the new news feed enlarged photos in this case ;) Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

[Meg]

[Rita]

oh my the big picture!

[Kevin McKay]

Oh wow this is so good...I'm not that fond of spiders, but I do like this one :)

still struggling with focus (which i completely understand, lacking a true macro lens myself), but this has a better composition for coping with that struggle. the color and bokeh are very stunning and it is not as much of a distraction for the spider to lack an absolute and clear focal point. it gives this a sense of motion/action, and there are still those strands of web and sharp flowery protrusions giving this more depth and detail. i figured youd keep exploring with this, and i anticipate more fun stuff!

[Tracie Broadhead]

I dont like our 8 legged friends very much but I think this is amazing! well done.

[Call me Joe]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk:)

[Juan B.]

I like the contrast of background with spider and also the ability to get close of your extension tube.

[Julie Duncan]

Great shot! Love all that pink (although I loathe spiders)! :)

[Spanner]

Cool - wonderful colours. As others have said the contrast works really well.

[Dawn]

Arent they fun! I find they are light hogs though, what do you think?

[Linda]

What a gorgeous setting! Very cool close up.

[Jocasta]

Love this little spider against all that gorgeous blurry pink

[Stephanie Swift]

Great capture, but not a subject I am fond of.

[Maggie]

The detail of web and the beautiful bokeh more than make up for the loss of detail.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

I love the colour and bokeh!

[summerfield]

that there pink is crazy pretty! spider making me itchy.

Hey kali, I see that 5+2 might be in need of a member again. If so, my life has calmed down to the point where I would be interested in joining back in.

[kali]

@soren that might be a good idea :) I'll get back to you after I have consulted with the others but you are first off the block for sure :)

[kali]

[Dianne]

[Rachel]

This is so beautifully romantic. If I was a spider I would think she was a bit of all right.

thank you for all your lovely comments :D
