[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I not sure if it's a male or female jumping spider (family salticidae). They are friendly little creatures that always like to jump on your camera or your fingers. Their large eyes give them excellent eyesight. As most spiders they also have four pairs of eyes. Two large ones in de middle and two small ones are looking forward. Above the front row is a second row of two tiny eyes and behind these there is a set of two large eyes looking upward. All these eyes give them a 360-degree eyesight.

The nice composition in diagonal is simple and smart. I like the grey background. Good DOF. The spider is impressive. Perhaps a smaller frame. Congratulations Lawrence and thanks for sharing here.
PS : what is your camera and setting ?

First, I like the frame - it goes well with the silver / grey BG.
Secondly, you show this spider like a work of art Lawrence. He is nice and sharp and the colours and details are all good. Well done, thank you.

Nice shot. Sharp, good contrast. Interresting composition. I feel some more DOF would be better.

But well,... I hate spiders

Hi Lawrence,
This is a very nice macro. The composition are good with the diagonal and the POV are also good. It's well seen from the grey BG. Good details too.
Very well done.

Good macro shot. I don't like the frame you used, it's not my taste, but otherwise it's a great photo and still desrves a lot of smileys. Well done!

Hi Lawrence,
Great composition, excellent sharpness and colour.
TFS!

Excellent photograph.What lens U used?

Bonjour Lawrence
C'est une magnifique prise de vue avec un joli macro de cette belle araignée. Félicitations pour les détails .Les couleurs et la présentation sont très jolies

Merci et au revoir.....JP

Hello Lawrence,

I'd say it's a male of Plexippus petersi, widespread species in the Old World tropics.

Best regards,
Dmitry
