    Default spider; backside

    Thought I'd give this guy a try. The light was harsh afternoon sun. It looks like I used flash but I didn't.

    No crop. Boosted saturation a little in LAB colour. Sharpened.

    Hi John. Nice to see you back at Macro. Very nice job of handling the harsh light. Good sharpness throughout and I like the slight diagonal comp. The pastel background and the rather low contrast colors of the spider almost make the spider look soft and cuddly. :) I expect you could also up the contrast on the spider, but that would give you a very different overall look. Well done.

    I think Steve nailed the critique! You could go dark and intense or stay with this -soft and cuddly version (although the soft and cuddly is in the eye of the beholder and my eye isn't beholding!) Spiders...eeeew!

    I do like the placement in the frame and the slight diagonal as Steve mentioned. Nicely seen and handled!

    Hey John,
    I think you handled the light very well! Some people may not like the "floating" look.....but I like the unusual take on this! Sharp where it needs it and nice to see a different perspective!
