Hallo Joe
What a delightful and colourful image of this Crap Spider on a Daisy. Your images are razor sharp and reflect great detail and focus, and this colourful posting is no exception. I think this image deserves each smiley awarded. You have captured this spider with great clarity. The markings, patterns and texture on the body are impressive. The flower it is sitting on is bright and sunny and the combination of colours of the spider and the flower is super. Your framework is splendidly done and your display is excellently handled. The pollen dust on the flower adds a special touch to this lovely image.Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

I will tell you this. You are right when you say a different point of view:-).... I am thankful it isn't a salad...never mind...it is clear and quite an opposing combination of "things" A spider which is a stand alone and a beautiful flower which is also a stand alone...together they almost clash in some way beyond words..but it does certainly catch the eye!

Hello Joe,
flower and spider are well focused for the parts to which the eyes are primarily attracted.
Very well composed with respect to geometry, display window and colours.
Sharpness is pretty good and highest at the most important parts of the picture.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Joe,

Beauty and Beast? Poor Daisy! Very nice composition, bright colours, sharp details, good DOF and POV. I really like the contrasting idea you have with this picture. Very good work.

Hi Joe,

I was wondering how you managed to get this spider on such a pretty Daisy! The secret is out. Wonderful shot - great details on the spider. And I haven't seen a daisy for years.

Hi Joe,
Excellent macro shot with immaculate sharpness and clarity. The Crab Spider is captured in a fine pose on the charming Daisy. Superb use of flash lighting and the resultant darkish BG lets the subjects stand out nicely. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.

Obviously I've missed the first one, but this capture is an exquisitely beautiful one Joe, the perspective is perfect and the focal zone encompasses both the daisy and the spider nicely against an OOF dark BG. Thanks for sharing thhis one with us, my friend.
