Another great image from this series, Balan. The composition of this one is superb with the red petal curving across the frame and the spider perfectly positioned. I like the slight out of focus view of the other petal in the upper left-makes it look like the spider is on the surface of the sun and there a solar flare behind it. The one thing I might change if you’re into altering reality a bit is the pale spot in the petal on the left which tends to draw my eye. I think a little color cloning to make it blend with the rest would keep attention on the spider.

Balan, this is a nice look at this little guy. I agree with @Dennis_Plank, that little light spot just pulls my eye away from the cute subject. The catch light in his eyes are nice. Their eyes can be challenging on the lighting but you did well.

Balan, another of your stunning spider images. Really great colors and composition here. I agree about that pale spot. I’d also like to see a little bit less glare on the pedipalps - but that’s a very minor comment. So successful!

Hi Balan, happy new year!
I like the shot as is - I held my hand over the light spot and found the result duller (and I mean that as reagrd to the light, not syaing it’s boring). Good shot!

Ingrid …thats nice to see you after long …many thanks …and wonderful new year to you too .
