Hello Paul.
Great capture. At the right moment, for you, not for the fly !
Do you work with autofocus or in manual to be sur you are 1:1.
With my 105, the focus is very slow, I'm faster without autofocus.
TFS

Yes, these little and fast spiders are the best! I also like to observe them especially during hunting. Great capture Paul! Moment is superb same as sharpness and details. Poor fly, but Spider looks very happy ;-)

Great macro shot, what a lunch!! I think this one is being a tad greedy.
Amazing detail, great dof and sharpness.

Hi Paul. This is a great shot. It's obviously not easy to get such great close-ups of spiders but you pull it off brilliantly. Really great sharpness, detail and DOF. TFS :)

Hello Paul,

Brilliant macroshot! The details sharp, the shot is so close and especially the eyes of the spider are great. You have captured a fantastic moment. Is he actually already eating the fly? Wonderful shot, it truly is. Great DOF and POV. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Hi Paul!
As I see preparing a theme about jumping spiders was a good idea - now I can see a lot of these beautiful creatures in one place (many of them - like your picture, thanks to Horia who added them to this theme ) :)
Lovely presentation of this common and popular also in Poland spider species. But this one had a big luck - to catch so big prey :)
Details and sharpness are very good, I like also low POV, and very good control of light.
TFS and I am waiting for next jumping creature from you!
Best withes from Poland,
Radomir
