Great shot.

I'm not actually a fan of spiders, but this guy was fine...I can't stop photographing spiders!

I am in the same boat. I don't much like them but I just keep photographing them. I think it's partly because they usually hold still (unlike a lot of 'bugs') and because they just look interesting (if a little creepy) close up.

Thanks. My favourites are th jumping spiders...they are actually cute. But the others are great to look at, just not nice!

I know what you mean, I had a funnel web come after me once.

I do hope you mean a harmless grass
spider (funnel web) and not a sydney funnel web!!!

I assume it was the harmless kind, he and many more can be found in my barn here in West Virginia U.S.A.

Here is a pic of the offending arachnid:

The pic is a little soft, not sure if its camera shake or what, was before i got my extension tubes.

Backlighting works well here due to translucent body. Reflection is nice but the texture variation of the foreground is even better. The bright top works against the image causing the eye to not see all the detail in the face (i.e. it is somewhat blinding). Focus point is good and DOF is terrific, cutting off just before the back end of the body. Front-view gives good menace factor.

Thanks for the in-depth critique.

Ahhh I despise spiders! However, this is a great shot. Reflection is a very nice touch.

Thanks. This one was only a tiny one, so i was ok with him. i don't like the big house spiders, though.
