Bente, all your shots are extremely good but I think this one is one of the best. Everything is exceptional. I wonder if he gave it another go? Great work!

très sympa comme prise de vue, j'aime beaucoup la posture des arraignées, on dirait qu'elles discutent ensemble

WWOOOWW! You have just made my day. I love 'em spiders. And this photo gives me twice the pleasure. Great detail and DOF combined with such a note. Wonderfull stuff. Unique compo. Great work. Thank you so much. Were did the web go?

Good work as usual! Informative note too. I really like the way you've managed to isolate our arachnid friends so well from the background - that said I think I'd have preferred just a little more DOF so that the nearest legs on the female were in focus slightly more. Perhaps a slightly looser crop too, not sure about that though... Very nicely captured, a well deserved :-D

Bente, Good shot, very nice. I am no spider lover but this is good. I understand your title. 'Lover or lunch' maybe sounds better but there is no talk of love anyway ;-)
Great shot.
Greetings, Jan

Very interesting capture. It is almost like they are floating in space, I can only see one strand of web in the photo. Good exposure and nice and sharp too. Too bad the spiders were not considerate enough to move their legs out of the way of their eyes ;)

A very good note, Bente. Just great. The picture is beautiful, great detail and compo. A possible nit, but not for me really, they appear to be suspended in the air, no visible web strands. A squirt of water from a flower spray can bring out the web, but you might also "loose" them. I am thinking international juging here.

This is genuinely impressive, Bente. Supreme detail on the spiders that look like trapeze artists defying gravity. Lovely DOF and colors, and an outstanding note. Very good work.

Wonderful macro, Bente.
Very sharp indeed. I can just see a single thread of the web. Very well done.
Your accompanying note is splendid. Nice to hear the story behind the photo.

How could I miss this one Bente, and you even managed to clone out the strings - sorry but it is the only nit. Very good capture, very good details, very good colours and a perfect background - God, I miss the details of the web here. it would make it perfect.

Spiders floating in the air! You managed to create magic around these two. Your note about mating is very interesting. It explain how this is also a spider ritual. Therefore, your shot is not only a perfect photo, but also a story. Congratulations for coming across this and thanks for sharing it.

Amazing note. Amazing photo! I love that you can't even see the web due to the DOF and they seem suspsended in their own world

Bente, no matter if it's father or food, the feeling I have is that they're dancing, as if performing a kind of ballet.

Excellent shot with a great POV and BG.
