Tarantujla, Avicularia laeta

[adcolon]

El Yunque National Forest, Río Grande, Puerto Rico. Canon 50D, Canon 180 macro/tube/580X flash with diffuser. ISO 100, f/16 @ 1/250 sec. If you look closely you can see it is missing one leg.

Hi Al,
I like the composition, image and capture...you have sharp details and good color rendition on your spider...my suggestion would be to clone out the rip in the leaf, thats competing with your subject...my eye keeps going there...:cool:

[Julie Kenward]

I have to agree with Gus...normally, the rip might add some interest but because it is running against the direction of the main vein in the leaf my eye is getting sidetracked over to it instead of that nice fuzzy spider.

I do love the spider itself...great color and detail and love the shadows beneath its legs!

Hey Alfredo, Very cool critter shot, good details and I could take or leave the crack in the leaf.
