    Default Ever Wonder?

    Ever wonder what's lurking under your bed?

    This is a flip of a common house spider, with some added drama courtesy of Nik Color Efex and Topaz adjust.

    My apologies to those who aren't fond of arachnids.

    This is a great change of pace. I like the symmetry you got from the flip. The outrageous colors (outrageous in a positive sense) and texture are very effective. The composition is right on.

    I'm glad my spiders aren't that huge! Yikes! Your image effectively makes the spider look rather threatening, as if it is ready to take over the world! Nicely done.

    I am certainly not a great fan but I am okay as long they are on screen like the friendly neighborhood ones I like the low angle perspective and the butterfly like pattern formed in the shadows underneath. Just as Dennis said... the colors are outrageous and very effective. Excellent one!

    At first I thought this was some kind of crab and was impressed at your low angle but my camera is to tall to get this low with a spider. I love spiders and outrageous colors so this is great. Also love the colorful shadow (if that's what it is) on the black background and the hairy legs.

    Maureen, the colors and texture are great! When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a crab. I bet you could do another flip and make something entirely different
