[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was captured at my friend Dayanand's farm house. We found only one specie of spiders in abundance - The one in this picture. Lots of dragon flies hovering around trying to catch the damsel flies for breakfast. Unfortunately for this dragon, it was fated to be on the menu itself. Here you can see that the spider has already feasted on the eyes and most part of the Odonatas head.

The web being too close to the paddy shoots, to get a good bokeh was not easy.

Hope you like this :-).

Hi Kiran.
Intricate work, my friend. Spider with its prey is looked amazingly. Superb reproduction of all their details. BG is very nice too. Bravo and TFS.
