    An interesting image, for me the DOF is a little limited, I am sure if the opportunity had been available you would have used a smaller aperture. I like the composition and the surroundings. I haven't seen a spider like this before, really colourful, I like the image.

    Hi Ravi, as Jonathan wrote... interesting spider. I think I have seen the same spider in Florida. I think legs of the spider being out of focus hurt the image. Thank you for sharing.

    It's nice and sharp. Also i love the dew. Details on the spider look great. Colors in the background are very nice. I could see this with a bit more room all around.

    Thanks for comments and suggestions. The challenge with this image was the wind. Of nearly 12 images I had taken, only 2 were sharp due to movement. I should have pulled back a little to get the complete view of the prey.
