Hi Shane. A cool little jumping spider! Good sharpness around the head and forelegs where you most need it. I like the comp - giving the spider room to move toward the LLC. If this was mine, I'd probably clone the white area below the spider as it tends to draw my eye. As with your previous post, the light from the flash is rather harsh and I think you should notice a dramatic improvement in your images once you obtain an effective diffuser. Keep them coming!

Thanks for the comments.

Have got my eye on a tube of pringles as a DIY offset flash coming from the cameras inbuilt one. Stay tuned for how that turns out haha
