Hi Monika, one last visit before I fall asleep here!
Super catch of the nearly frozen spider, It is nice and sharp, and he looks good climbing on the snow.
Reading your notes, the male's not stupid, is he?
Good shot, BRAVO! And good night...

Hi Monika, very nice shot and good details of the spider. Its funny how you have posted this as yesterday there was two of them on my patio, might post one later on.

Good note also, nice work Monika well done.

Hi Monika!
Poor spider! I hope he has got good boots. Incredible picture - spider on ice. Looks very good, nice details and light on crystals. NO MORE WINTER!

Beautiful picture with the ice crystals contrasting with the spider. I particularly enjoyed the note, too.

Well done Monika, Pisaura on ice!

How unusual, don't think I've seen a spider in the snow before. Well done.

Great capture. I'm used to seeing these spiders all over our garden. Seeing it on ice sure looks different. Can't believe how wide spread these spiders are.

Hello Monika,
convincing portrait of a spider coming out from hibernation, as charming as a spider can be.
Pretty good colours and details, and a very lively direct frontal approach.
Very interesting story, too.
From a system theoretical approach, comparisons of that spider's behaviour to human equivalents would be inviting, and quite a bit amusing, too.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Hello Monika,
A nicely detailed shot, you certainly love your spiders! An interesting note too. I know I'm supposed to be looking at the spider but the first thing that struck me about this is the colour coming from the ice, that kind of deep grey-blue, it's such a nice colour.
Regards,
Adrian

A great photo, with the close up of the snow giving it a very different look to what we're used to.
A fascinating note as usual, you certainly know your spiders!

Hi Monika,
It seems very unnatural to see a spider on the snow. Great shot with the sharp detail and great colors. Ice sparkles so well he looks like he is walking on diamonds. Nice shot!

A spider on ice! :) I like the composition and with a slightly wider dof this would have been perfect. Well done & TFS!

This is a cool picture. The spider is very well defined and the exposure came out just right. Nicely framed. :)
