Nice shot. Beautiful use of DOF and great capture of the detail on the spiders legs.

I love all of your critter shots (grasshoppers, etc) using this naturally beautiful leafy foliage as a background.

thank-you. It is coming together. I still get carried away with the pp but I am gaining restraint.

Hi Brian,

Who had his/her front left leg?

It might have been a spider once, but now it has 7 legs, I'm not so sure

Have you considered a crop losing 10-15% of width from the right hand side?

Good focus and DoF on this one by the way.

Cheers,

I have some of the most careless and forgetful spiders in my garden. They are forever leaving legs and mandibles one place or another.

I tried a closer crop but to me it seemed cramped.

Somehow what I wrote dissipated. I do have many very forgetful spiders in the garden. Always leaving their legs or mandibles somewhere or other. I tried a tighter crop but it looked cramped to me.
