Inhabitants of the garden

[Otavio]

Hi, fellows. Been to the garden this morning, trying to find some small cute friends to capture. Here are what I got. This spider is a very small one (about 4mm, I would say). It is my second macro attempt. Still getting the hang of it, but they seem better than my first attempt (well, I hope so! ): My first macro attempt!. C&C welcomed. Thanks for viewing.

Otavio,
Very good for your 2nd go at macro.

Hi Otávio, nice photos! #2 is my favourite - I like the way the spider seems to be looking straight at the camera.
Cheers,
Dan

The Sarcophaga sp. flies aren't exactly a rare species but you have achieved an interesting angle. Although possibly the second one is a fraction on the blue side?

Everybody loves jumping spiders (well nearly everybody) and you have some appealing angles there.

The other fly is OK but not such an interesting scene. I might shoot this angle for identification purposes, amongst other angles, but wouldn't consider it to be a 'display shot'.

So yes, well done.

But remember my frequent warnings about macro photography becoming addictive!

Hi Otavio,

You are catching the macro bug

No 6 is my favourite here, should the title be, 'The edge of the World' or 'Don't jump'.

Nice job otavio. #2 is my favorite , because of the eye contact. Much better image, in my opinion.

Good work Otavio, nicely done. The spider looks like what I would call a jumping spider, not sure of the species.

These are just excellent Otavio sharp throughout and nicely captured.

Hi Otavio,

I really like all 3 of the jumping spider, although they're all good, flies too.

For me the weakest of the bunch is #4 because of the shadow it happens to be standing in.

Hi Octavio,
all of them are very good, the spider shots are my favorites.

Thanks, my friend. Yes, it is one of the jumping spiders. I appreciate your valulable reply!

Hi, Dave! I have to agree the #4 is the weakest of the set. The shadow realy didnt help at all! Thank you for viewing and commenting.
