Kind of a sad story....

One day peeking down my (former) office window i noticed two Salticid spiders, apparently two siblings from the same brood dead on the cold bottom. Maybe they hatched in my office and found nowhere to go for food or they were blown there by mild winds in a starving state, i dont know.

When you look at the see thru eyes, maybe you also feel the deep sorrow as i do. If the thin layer of dust is not counted it looks alive, like a cold arm wrapped child.I hear it pleading 'Ma, wipe my tears' every time i confront those eyes.

I want this to be my first dedication. I dedicate this one to all the babies and children tortured, killed in the name of anything, in the ...... modern world.

Merhaba Ümit bey, yine müthiş detaylarla sizden mükemmel bir fotoğraf daha. Kutlarım.
Selamlar.

Hello Umit,

Excellent close-up. Great sharpness and wonderful eyes! Very good POV, slightly lateral, better than a frontal one.
Cheers,
Mariki

Sad story but very nice capture in great detail Ümit, your flash is visible in all four eyes and the black BG enhances their brightness. Thank you also for your kind and thoughtful dedication my friend.

Hello Umit,

Your dedication has reduced me to tears. Our world seems to be becoming a more terrible place every day, this insanity has to stop.

Regarding your photo, a very poignant image, well done.

Hi Umit,
Outstanding macro shot with awesome details and sharpness. The hairy body and the huge eyeballs are beautifully presented with nice colours. Great use of flash lighting and the resultant black BG works well here. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Una presentación elegante, diferente, original y muy efectica. Excelente trabajo con la luz y los colores, que provocan una visión muy efectiva. Excelente trabajo.

Ümit bey nefis olmuş ellerinize sağlık.

Hello Umit!
Sad story and title, but the picture is really good for watching because of technique and light control.
If you agree I would add this picture to "Salticidae of the world" theme, even if there is no name for this cute creature now :)
All the best from Lodz!
Radomir
