Hello George.
This photograph has it all - beauty, action, superb colors and sharp details. Just fascinating to see the spider capture the hoverfly. The insert of just the White crab Spider is wonderful also.
Best regards Siggi

Well done George! This is a fantastic photo with clarity, sharpness, colours, subject and perfect representation of white and yellow. The pollen grains on both insects and the petals indicate the quality of this image. Best wishes, Pambos

Hello George,
Beautiful photo in very nice natural colours. Impressive dramatic scene. I don't know why f13 doesn't give more sharpness in the DOF. The head of the hoverfly is OOF. But the sharp focus on the spider is fantastic. Taken from the best POV in a very good composition.
Regards,
Peter

Hi,
Very fine closeup of the crab spider in striking pose, well balanced image with whites and blacks (dark) shades. Yes, the closer you go the lesser the dof even at f32. tfs.

Hello George friend,
One thing I envy (healthy envy, of course) is the marvelous clarity in your macros! ... One would say they look more clearer wich see with the naked eye! ... Congratulations ... Good job! ... In addition, by itself the picture is a story and has the drama of these situations.
Regards, TFS

Hello Friend George,
this is superb capture in a macro world shot. The sharpness of the crab spider is indeed lovely. The white body is so well discern on the white petals. What a view of clarity and sharpness. The gradual bokeh appearing bokeh is hard to compose yet you did it so well.
Very exciting view!

Regards,
Foozi

PS: Friend Jusni is busy with his special research project.
I met and talked to him yesterday. He gave you a wide smile as I told him about your enquiry.

Hi George,
Your answer to Peter's question triggered me to visit this photo. The moment captured is wonderful and the details in the spider are perfect.
As for the DOF, it is strange that the head of the fly is OOF. Especially if you consider that a large part of the body is in focus while these are both at a similar distance from the lens. In addition, the sharpness should run from 1/3 in front of the focal point to 2/3 behind the focal point considering that you focused on the spider the 'in focus' part does not match. Could it be that you focused in front of the spider? Did you add any blur to the photo for a better oof effect on the BG?
Regards,
Niek
