Hi all,
Today I had been to lalbaugh alone and enjoyed shooting his gem without any disturbance:-) . This is Peucetia viridans (Green Lynx Spider) female with egg sack.
The early morning soft light plus cold breeze had some challenges of its own and I'm glad that I was able to nail this down.

Hope you ppl will enjoy this as well!

TFV,
Goutham R

Hi Goutham,
So you had nice morning on your own. This looks like the same spider that I posted with back light. How come there is no sunlight here, was it cloudy. Except for that the image looks good, composition could have been better. Also it looks bit dull, may be you could added bit more brightness or is it my screen. Tomorrow I will be there. tfs.

Hi Goutham,
this shot is wonderful - and very interesting.
This spider is so beautiful with the spots on the legs and it's pretty to see it guarding their babies in the sack.
Thanks, very good moment

Goutham nice shot and good informative. Well presented. Good use of lighting. Ganesh

Hello Goutham !
What an... intersting picture, for somebody who is afraid of spiders ! :-) But it looks great, there are so many details on your spider, every little hair on her legs is sharp. Composition is also very nice, as well as the POV, the beautiful colors. You ave captured a great moment. Very well done !
Valerie.

A fine capture with the main subject in perfect focus Goutham, natural colours make this a very good image for education.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Goutham,
a great, detailed macro of this spider and its egg sack.
Very sharp and crisp.
Well exposed.
Superb DOF.

Well done,
Joe

Hello Goutham,

Even if you centered the spider with egg sack within your composition, it works very well for me! Comparing the egg sack with a jewel is very inspiring as it is true that this spider will sacrifice its life to protect the sack. Great details showing us how delicate the spider is in front of their future siblings!

Great shot and TFS! :-)
