I know these spiders very well. I seem to have a few families trying to take up residence at home!
This is good Luc, I've never seen them catch anything like this before. Nice and sharp too. Very well captured.

Great macro shot Gerhard, the sharp details of the spider is wonderful, you can clearly see the hair on its legs! (brrr) Well captured, not an everyday scence when one spider captured another one. Well done, thanks for sharing.. :)

This is excellent picture Gerhard. Two things - sharpness and DOF. It is very hard to capture all those legs in focus and you did it superb. Very interesting creature also known in Poland. Good work my friend!

A great moment, a great picture.

Excellent pov and sharpness.

This is awesome, Gerhard! Two for the price of one. Well done on the detail including the webbing. I am not much for spiders, however this one was great to see. (Not so scary as some). TFS.

Hee Gerhard!

Very nice picture of an unusual situation. Mr Lecter takes another bite! :) Great POV & DOF. Sharp details. Like Livio, I really don't care about the BG. Well done & TFS!

Groetnis,

A great shot, Cannibal indeed! Scary. This one has certainly caught a huge meal when you compare their body size.
Great pov, well done for spotting this one.
Thanks for posting.

Very well captured Gerhard.
The details of this spider are excellent,all the legs are clear and sharp.I always end up with one or two oof or with motion blur when I try.
A great shot of this spider and its prey.
Very well done indeed.

Well, the BG to the snack is a daddy long legs, who cares what goes on beyond that! This is an amazing piece of work. You are really setting the pace here with this macro.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Very good macro , Gerhard.
You don't need a macro when you can handle the tubes this way.
Good composition, colours and details.
Well done, my friend.

I hope you get a long cold winter with a lots of snow. ;-)

Hello Gerhard!
What a clear and detailed picture you offer to us. I know this are difficult to get, but your f:32 almost nailed it this time, only one leg touching the frame is criticable. The rest is a pleasure to look at. The extension tube works very nice indeed. Regards, Felipe.

Superb sharpness, efficient DOF, and the spiders attitude is wonderful.
A beautiful one indeed.
