Hi all,
This is another POV of the events that I described yesterday and I enjoyed to shoot this in a difficult condition. Anil also helped me a bit with suggestions and help in PP, So thanks Anil :-)
This was taken from exactly opposite angle, to what was posted yesterday , it gives the perspective from the spider's end and since spider's don't leave their web if not disturbed we can always looks at different angles to shoot them :-)

PS. I used a reflector to enforce back light and Gurupawan was a great and good light boy for me :-), Thanks Pawan buddy :-)

Hope you ppl will like this as well

Regards,
Goutham R

Hi Goutham,

That is a superior capture of a moment in time..Not the best time for one, but pretty good timing for the other...Fine colourings just perfectly saturated, but the patterns and the action in frozen time is what makes this one so good1

This take is just as good as the previous one Goutham, and the "contra-lumiere" illumination makes the wing detail of the prey and the web of Argiope stand out perfectly against the dark green BG. A fine image indeed my friend!
Cheers,
Mehmet

Just run out of smileys, sorry...

Hi Goultham,
Excellent close-up picture of this magnificant spider with a beautiful butterfly as prey. Great reverse POV, nice composition, sharp details.

Hi Goutham,
This should be Shot#1. Backlighting can do wonders for macro, gives one a different feel. Thank you for PP credits :) TFS

Hi Goutham,

Both POV's have their own beauty, this is perhaphs looking from spiders point of view..what beautiful prey it has caught...eventually you have been able to bring out the same for our visual. Good one, and hey!! thanks again for this "prize catch", yes indeed the light boy :) Pawan to be thanked for being part of this shooting event.TFS.
