Hey adcolon, What great eyes this guy has and a nice smile to. Well done.

[Robert O'Toole]

Interesting little guy, the details around the eyes is very good.

I think cropping from the left and getting rid of that dark corner would work wonders.

It indeed looks as if he smiles! The focus is spot on on the eyes, but a bit more DOF would have been nice. I agree about the black TRC being a bit distracting.

One cool looking critter adcolon - never seen a spider with eyes like this - great find!!
I agree with Robert's suggestions re crop and dark corner.

Hi adcolon,
I think ROT crop suggestion would inded work very well here. I've reposted just to give you an idea.........sometimes easier to see. I cropped and got rid of the corner........but you can play with it as you like/feel comfortable with.
