Nice clear picture. Is it what we in norway call “husedderkopp” ?
Excellent macro. The even background really brings out the detail in the spider. Great idea. Light and focus is spot on. We think you could use the shadow as an element in the picture (if it is still around).
I believe it is, Svenna.
I am sorry to say that the image is not cropped on the right side, FaS. I also wanted to do some really macro shots – 1:1, but the spider got a little wild and decided not to hang around. So I decided to throw it out (usually I put spiders on a flower – they are good for taking care of other little insects).
Beautifully shot, but freaking me out! *shivers on to next photo* There are such a thing as too much details, at least for my fragile too-much-coffee-today nerves
(Oh, and how serious do you want the comments in here to be? Want the focus on the picture and the techniques, or on the motives, and can I ramle on like this?)
Thank you, Stjernesøkeren.
About the comments: You decide how you want to comment. I appreciate that the comment is in English and in good tone, but other than that I don’t really have any rules. Just keep it friendly.
And if you don’t like a image, or have opinions on how it could have been better: feel free to let me know. For some reason most comments on photoblogs are standing ovations, even for mediocre images. People seem careful not to give critique on photoblogs. Critique helps me become a better photographer.
Spiders can be difficult to photograph so you’ve done a good job keeping it in the frame. I don’t think people like to criticise on photoblogs because it can come across as negative feedback. So, I’m not going to tell you that this image should have been a bit sharper in the middle

Thank you for you honest opinion, Marvin. I know the image isn’t tack sharp throughout, but I had already let the poor spider go when I found out. Just another lesson to learn I guess.
Cool shadows and lighting. Not a thirteen on a dozen image.
