Very interesting picture. Good details, great colors and very good POV & DOF. The focus on the frontleg is a little soft. Did the spider move it when you made the photo? TFS!

Wow Andy, Spider exotica! I like this alot. I think I have seen this spider, or something like it, in a book. This is great though, especially with prey. I think it must be difficult to ID these DR species...where are you looking? Very well done.

Hi Andy
This one really gives me the shivvers, and makes me reach for the can of Doom, or the flyswatter! This spines or nails makes them look like minature triceratops dinosaurs. A nice rendition, good colours and a nice snacking spider picture.

If I woke up and saw this guy sitting an inch away on my pillow staring me down eye to eye, I think I would totally reinvent cardiac arrest. Stellar shot of one ugly &^#$*#(@!
