Bonjour Marie-Christine,
Une très belle image d'opilion. Elles sont plutôt rares sur TN. Un de mes amis a fait son doctorat sur ces créatures. Ton angle de vue est spécial, mais pas facile de faire une photo. Tu as réussi à en faire une image artistique avec ce bel-arrière-plan mauve.
Bonne semaine
Amitiés
Anne

Hi Marie,

Amazing shot! I like a lot the details on the body and the fantastic DOF that makes it more mysterious. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Marie-Christine

J'aime beaucoup ton image de cette araignée. Quand on la regarde, on se demande comment elle fait pour ne pas s'entremêler avec ces pattes qui n'en finissent plus...

Les couleurs sont tendres et superbes, et j'aime beaucoup cette impression de vide autour de l'insecte.

Amitiés

Hello Marie,
These harvesters are difficult to photograph because of their long legs, but you made a fine capture of the body and some of the legs against a good neutral BG to give us a fine view of this arachnoid.
TFS this unusual image,
Cheers,
Ivan

Hallo Marie
Although I have posted 2 spiders in the time that I have been part of Trek Nature, I cannot really say that I like them, but I also cannot say that I do not find them very fascinating and interesting. Each one differs from the other and each have their own characteristics to them. Your Blackwalli looks very fragile and I am amazed by the length of the legs and how you fitted them all into the frame. I very much like the pitch black colour of the long legs, and the very small body.
Best regards
Anna

Hi Marie Christine,

you keep on surprising me with things I never saw before. This Daddy longlegs is no exception, and its definitely a first on TN. Great, how you depict it hanging seemingly in the air. And you mastered the trick to show ALL of the legs, something I never succeeded in. Well done, Marie Christine!

Best regards

Hi Marie,

An amazing shot of this most unusual looking spider. Excellent details and colors of the tiny body. Those long black legs are fascinating. He seems to be double-jointed to get into that position. He shows up very well against the blurred background.

A fine looking opilionid with almost all of its legs within the frame Marie! I know it is almost an impossible achievement my friend. The double eyes back to back on its dorsum are very evident in this superb macro shot. I slightly re-arranged the white balance in my WS, hope you like it.
Cheers,

Hello Marie Christine,
Just wondering how strong have to be the muscles or joints of the legs to be able to move and stand over it.
A very clear capture of this singular spider, plenty of sharp ad fine details.
It's unbelievable the length of the legs...
Great work and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Would make a nice model for Paul Klee, Marie :).
A most amazing species of spiders with such long legs you could not get the whole of them within the frame.
The geometrical formations in this image are also astounding.
What is most significant is that you have captured its main body very well and shown its features clearly.
Thanks and regards.

Dear Marie Christine,
fascinating artistic presentation of that fragile Opilio.
The way its body and legs are vaguely appearing into precision out of distant softness is very appealing.
Thank you! With all my best wishes to you for a Happy New Year!

Impresionante captura con una difícil realización que conseguiste trabajarla bien.
Gran realismo en la luz y los colores. Un trabajo diferente y muy atractivo.

Hello Marie Christine

Excellent sharpness and detail.
Even able to see it this well I can't figure out how it can move around so well on those stilts.
Very good POV and DOF.
The focus is very good,it stands out against the OOF BG.

Hello Marie!
Opiliones are not very popular in TN gallery (I remember maybe 3-4 pictures?), so first of all - bravo for interesting and original presentation. You kept DOF and sharpness in very nice way, what is not easy in case of these creatures :)
Anyway, there is a small mistake in the note - name "Opiniones" should be written in catipal letter :>
Greetings,

Hi again, Marie
Magnificent capture of this Leiobunum. I don't think these arachnids use of threads, but I am puzzled how you captured it, for it doesn't seem to be sit on anything.
My compliments and best regards
