This is a jumping spider. Caught him on the hood of my truck. Late for work because of it.
I never pass up a jumper.

Very nice pose, Daniel - totally worth being late IMO. ;) You might darken up all those microscopic white spots and then I think you'd have a really wonderful spider image.
Daniel, I think you took the cleanup a bit too far. Some important parts of the reflection are missing now. You should try this again but only remove the tiny white spots. If the white spots are on a part of the reflection, clone over them so the reflection stays intact.
I see what Ken means but I still like it better than the original. Those white spots were going to look horrible in a print! This would provide a much cleaner outcome.
