Those eyes make me think of sci-fi and aliens.

Unusual 'pose' you captured there Brian,

I can see the Halloween connection more in the bat wing shaped leg positions though.

I wonder whether all the right hand side is necessary?
Trouble is, cropping makes it too centred I think.

If your model had accepted voice commands for posing, I'd suggest you ask it to rotate 20 degrees to its left, so it is looking 'in' to the negative space on our right

However, so much else is working well here; the simple background in a matching colour to the leaf, etc., it seems unfair to criticise.

Nicely done, fits the occasion perfectly.

Aside from Cropping, Flipping & Resizng this is SOOC RAW. Criticizing is always unfair, critiquing never. I have yet to read a criticism from .you

Thanks I thought it fit.

and as is often the case I didn't know what I had till I put it up on the big screen.

The eyes have it

The eyes have it

they got my attention

Thanks Brian,

I slightly prefer the original, although the second is about the left/right angle I had intended, several other factors mean your original choice for posting here was the correct one.

That said, we can perhaps see more of the eyes in the second, but the legs are better in the first - ya just gonna have to keep trying
(one day I'll be satisfied)

You already were.... once. My spider eye shot. Nevertheless try and try again. A fee more weeks and the solarium may be up and running and then indoor bug shooting will be possible.

Nice capture Brian.

and I actually got my Halloween shot near Halloween.
