Found this small spider recently. Was very difficult to photograph because it was running around its web like a maniac. I was able to get some okay photos of the spider itself, but my favorite photo ended up being this one focusing on the spider's shadow. Any C&C are welcome!

Nice eye for this Christopher. I like the comp. and think the shadow is interesting! Well done.
Christopher, Creative and very well handled. The lighting is very good and the shadow gives a clear outline of the spider.Finally, I like the placement of the spider.
Thanks Denise and Dave!
I like it, too, Christopher. I might consider sharpening the outline of the shadow just a bit more but other that that...very nice!
The shadow adds very well to an already interesting texture of the leaf. Well captured.
Great placement and mood with the B&W treatment, with teh good texture and defnition of the leaf due to the sidelighting. Definitely OOTB, and really enjoyable to see!
