Thanks for the informative narrative, did not know all those facts. What a neat shot to show nature at work and a scene most will never notice or see. Very good focus, frame and exposure. Good one.

Another 6* image
Fantastic information, exceptional image showing exactly that specific moment keeping the sac with her - First of all this is a kind of spider that never crossed my way, second the way you cached this shot is exceptional so close that the sac she carries seems to be over dimensional for her size - your composition well defined , perfect in close up, perfect sharpness, perfect DOF, clear and sharp showing us even the textures of this baby sac as also t seems the spider has a kind like fur - very unusual find ,perfect in contras and lighting , amazing shot, thanks for sharing

Great initial creepy impact. Actually an amazing capture. Great color and well positioned subject. Thanks for the notes as well. Great texture on the spider and bag, well focused. Am quite taken by the face of this lady. Even spiders are 'moms.' Very well done.

I won't kid you, the subject is...well. Anyway nice job. Super sharp focus (not always easy with macro) and overall composition. Also, thanks for the detailed explanation. It's nice to learn something new. Cheers, JR.

Very informative notes. The colors of the spider are distinct and the angle of creativity is very complementary.

Thanks for the opportunity to review it

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A brilliant picture of this Female Spider attached to her sac full of eggs with her bright eyes looking forward but I'm sure aware of your presence. It seems strange that she has her hind leg up in the air. Beautiful composition & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
Susan

merci suzanne for the six*

Comment from Zilyram
Love this closeup shows so much detail and with your added notes makes for very interesting viewing. Focus is excellent.

We have spiders here that carry the spiderlings on their back - my brother caught one for the kids to take to school one time and it had around 200 little ones on its back. The science teacher loved it and so did the kids at school. After a week allowing the kids to view the teacher took it to his farm and let them free.

Comment from Capture This
Like the spider, the angle is great and the lighting looks good. The details are great, and background looks nice. The focus is great, and with the movement this spider must have been making!! Excellent story, didn't see that coming.
