Crop, sharpen, nr, levels and removal of a couple of blemishes on the petals. I did not remove all as I prefer a more natural look.:)

This is about as good as it gets. It's hard to get the right stuff sharp at this magnification, and you've done it beautifully. In addition, the color combination is striking, the spider's pose is perfect, and the flower color complements it all nicely. Congratulations!

Wow, this is great, the dof is right on. And the colors are fantastic.
Hi Vida. What an interesting looking crab spider. I'm not aware of any over here that have "horns" like this one has. The sharpness and DOF are outstanding and the colors of the flower put this way over the top. A very minor point: the second eye from the left has 2 catchlights - generated by the 2 flashheads(?). You might consider cloning one of them. Very well done.
Hey Vida, Very cool capture. Nice job on the position of the spider with the legs running on a diagonal inthe frame. Great colors.
Wonderful capture with great colors and love how the coloring of the spider acts as a camouflage while in the flower.

It's stunning, Vida! You did such an excellent job with both composition and exposure but the main thing about this is you found a subject worth photographing and really told a story with it. Beautifully done!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback Bill, Connie, Steve, Mike, Don and Julie. You made my day!:)
Excellent work on all counts, Vida! Well done!
Thank you very much Christopher. I'm glad you like it.:)
I absolutely love the image Vida. Incredibly sharp and excellent techs.
Thank you for looking at these oldies Akos. Your comments are highly appreciated.:)
