Crab Spider with Prey

[Bruce Enns]

These crab spiders hide on flowers and snatch unsuspecting pollinators, such as this bumble bee. I like the OH! "expression" created by the markings on the spiders abdomen. The water droplets are from a sprinkler that was watering the flower garden.

Very cool Bruce! The timing, comp and subjects are hard to beat in my book. Seems like it is just a little soft.

For me the light is too strong, diffusing or shading the light would have made the image much stronger. Also you didnt mention if you used flash, but this would really help bring out all the sharpness possible. Also I would crop some off of the top.

An interesting composition Bruce with lots of impact. Excellent detail in both subjects but as already mentioned the light is a little harsh. The shadow/highlight tool in PS would help to reduce some of this brightness.

Hey Bruce, great catch, and real nice details and color.
