Hard for me to tell who's the prisoner, but it doesn't matter. Both insects are beautifully displayed with excellent lighting that show off their colors.

This is an amazing macro shot! Extraordinary luck to find this one. The focus and clarity are excellent and shows well against the pink background. Your narrative is also very interesting. Good luck in the contest!

looks like she caught herself a honey bee. the angle of the shot of both spider and bee is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Holey Yikes!! What a shot, you really got in there. this is something with this white spider hitting up on this bee. wonder if they eat killer hornets coming to the USA.

Great find and great capture as nature takes its course with the white spider capturing the bee. Color and exposure are well handled and the focus is good.

Amazing photograph! I love how you have filled the frame. The spider and bee really pop against the pink rose. Poor guy, he went for lunch and became it!

A beautiful shot. The rose petals make a great setting for this little drama. Excellent detail in both the spider and the bee. Beautiful colors and superb depth of field.
