Angad, this is well done. I'd be tempted to clone out the one brightly lit curve in the LRS of the frame..it draws your eye away from the subject...and I might tone down the highlights just a smidge in general...but I love the composition, the curved, orange legs of the spider make for a strong compositional element, and you did a wonderful job catching the lighting across the web. Nicely done!
Hi Angad. Nice job hh the 500 mm macro! The backlighting makes a very nice effect and I like your off-center diagonal comp of the spider. I would agree with John about removing the bright curve in the web - a small crop off the bottom would do it - as that will help focus more of our attention on this cool spider. Well done!
Very interesting with the light coming through those orange legs. A tighter crop might work for several reasons and the IQ looks good.
