Hi Mike,
it's a great close-up. The exposure is spot on, the yellow crab is well seen from the yellow flower. Good POV and well composed.
The details are very good, the ext.tubes work fine with the lens.
Great work, my friend.

Hi Mike
Great photo. You managed well to isolate the yellow spider from the yellow pouch of the slipper.
The composition adds a touch of drama, the colours are stunning, the details are remarkable, and the exposure was perfectly managed.
Very good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
PS. I really like this one.

Oh, oh, bug season again!
Splendid detail Mike, and I also am impressed by the yellow on yellow hues with each shade being so sharp. Love the red on the "slipper" being mirrored by the red on the spider. You really shone with this one! Linda

Hi Mike, nice to meet you again.
This one is in my wish list, I never get a good photo like this. Excellent exposure and tones, with a great composition due to the perfect perch and pose.
Well done, a great work.

Hi Mike, great capture here with the yellow spider on the yellow orchid. The spider tones in well, even showing the red markings like the orchid too... Well done,

He preferido elegir esta antigua foto Mike antes que tu última presentación por la belleza de esta grandiosa captura.
Bellos colores y perfecta nitidez para mostrar el mimetismo de esta araña tan peculiar.
Personalmente, la sumo a mis favoritas.
