Hey Alfredo, very well done. Good sharp details on the spider, and great BG.

[Mike Fuhr]

Very nice contrast and colors. I like it. By the way, which end is which??

Alfredo, It is very well exposed and I like the details

Hi Alfredo, very nice spider! You should try to get it up front. Jumping spiders front eyes are amazing. They look like big headlights. They need them to coordinate their jumps on prey. Getting those eyes in the frame would immediately answer Mike's question (face is to the right).
Looking forward to seeing more of your bugs!

Alfredo, you are quickly becoming the bug man! Gosh, these are consistently getting better and better. Although he is pretty much dead center I think it works here. You could have given him a little more room at the front end of the leaf but I know you wanted to get in close and it totally works.

Now go find a flower to photograph so the rest of us can catch up to your skill level with these insect images! :D;):D
