This young Evarcha spp appeared on my garden chair arm. It looked quite relaxed so set my gear up and took a few shots. The flash startled it and it promptly vacated the area

Scary and scary good! The colors, sharpness and DOF are wonderful.

I was trying to shoot a tree frog the other day while handholding with a flash diffuser that kept tipping the flash head too far down. Hope you have a better setup!

Really couldn't be much better, the angle exposure and DOF are excellent.

Thanks guys.

By the way ID has been confirmed as a young female Evarcha jucunda

Excellent !
Every time I find one of these they"vacate the area" before I find a camera !
Good stuff.

Nice use of what you were provided with--looks like a studio shot. Wonderful creature, nicely caught.

Love this! Great hairy details. These little mighty-mites have such character!

Jumpers always have a lot of personality and you made the most of your opportunity here! Good exposure and excellent sharpness right where it needs to be. If this was mine, I'd be tempted to clone some of the tiny bits of debris which are just noticeable enough to catch my eye - a very minor point. :S3:
