A beautiful spider and an outstanding image. The details are meticulously shown and the colors are excellent. I like this composition with the dark backgroud that makes the web stand out. It should be a strong contender in this contest. Best of luck. A winner in my book.

An excellent macro image of this colourful spider. I wouldn't call it beautiful but the patterns and colours make it interesting and a work of art from The Creator. Great clarity and I love the bokeh in the background. Great lighting...well composed Steve!

Steve,
A beautiful close up of this long legged & very colourful Spider that might frighten some people on sight. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Wow, this is an extremely elegant image of this beautiful
Arachnid. The colors are amazing and the detail is shown with such precision and care.
I'm so impressed by the subtle bokeh and intricate web that add to the overall beauty in this macro. This is really a wonderful entry for the contest, and your outstanding work with mixed media are magnificent. Best wishes in the contest, but I believe you've nailed it! Bravo FS...

Nice capture here! Beautiful colours on the legs. Your focus is great it shows awesome details and design on his body. The composition is satisfying with the gentle light reflected off the web. What kind of spider is it? Well done, thanks for sharing

Thank you very much for your review. I do not know what species of spider this is. I shot the photo yesterday here in Mexico. I will have to look this one up. It is very tiny being about 1/4 of an inch long and hard to see. Thank you again ~ iPhone7
Comment from avmurray
You have indeed pictured this spider well, and I especially like the softened bokeh of the background, and also the colors of it. The light is falling so lovely on the spider, and it is standing out from the background in an excellent way.
The photo is sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the spider, and the colors are crisp and clear. The exposure is perfect.
The photo is nicely cropped, and the spider has got a very fine placement within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Steve, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Sean T Phelan
So I've been told anyway ,Steve! : )
Being something of an Arachnophobe this creature 'gives me the willies' though!
But that doesn't mean that Spiders aren't fascinating little animals or that your photograph of this one is anything less than excellent! : )
'Good Show',my friend!
