Brian, welcome to the Macro forum! Excellent image here. You've got a wonderful comp and crop - everything has a purpose and is well defined and focused. Excellent side view of the bee...you couldn't really ask for anything better. I think the only thing that would have added even more punch to this would be if the flower petals were a color instead of white - showing off the spider to the max. Well done!

Dandy post Brian and it tells an interesting story. Very nice to have everything on the same plane and flat to the camera. Dave

The dark background really adds to the picture.
