How could I miss that one! Hopefully it's not too late. This amazing macro shot is simply outstanding ð???! The composition is perfect, the colors are brilliant! Excellent clarity and presentation! I like the description, too. Is this one the winner yet? It is to me. No doubt. Congratulations Capitan Steve!!!

Such a cool shot.
Hate spiders...lol...but can appreciate the beauty you caught here. I like the interesting colors it seems so be sporting.
The bit of web you can see is cool too. Nice capture.

Excellent entry for the contest, Steve. You are right, there is often beauty in the unexpected and you've shown this well. I like the angle you used for this showing the elegant legs and beautiful colours. Excellent camera techniques. Best of luck in the contest. Suzanne

Excellent macro capture of this spider. Its true what you say about beauty in the tiniest creatures. The colours on this makes it look like a jewel. Bokeh is perfect as a foil. The focus, excellent. Nicely centred and presented

Love it! That spider is definitely a beauty up close. Great color, composition, and detail. The dark, blurred background really puts the focus on the main subject. Good luck!
