That is a super amazing photo not only of the spider but the colours, shapes and textures generally. Good luck in the contest! I have not been on FAR for a long time -- emagrated to Wales UK, not sure if you knew... Daphne Oberon

Great shot here of this Green Spider waiting for lunch. The spiders detailed stand out very well against the vibrant flower bud. Great colours and exposure. Great focus, texture and clarity. Well done and good luck in the contest :-)

Your photograph looks more like a wonderful painting or even graphic art with all of the many fantastic details. This is a very large spider and we can see every part of him, it's pleasing! I like the contrasting colors and how you framed this photo. the point of view is really quite interesting. A first place winner in this contest for sure! Very well done and good luck!

Steve,
A very beautiful picture of the green Spider on the orange coloured flower, it's legs appear to be gold against the orange petal the blue stem is very unusual. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
Susan

Totally off the charts fantastic! Six stars don't seem to enough for this shot Steve! The spider is almost jumping off the page and I love the orange background flower! The focus, lighting and touch of mixed media really bring this together! Definitely a high contender for the contest! Good Luck! :o) Nancy

Comment from Kathy Banich


Hi, Steve, this is a different, yet very intriguing image. That spider is placed perfectly on the orange petal, that offers such nice contrast, depth and visibility of the subject. You have captured so much detail in the "Long" legs, the viewer can actually count the hairs on each leg. The splash of purple on the base of the frame is a strong initial eye-catching focal point that last only temporarily as the viewers then acknowledge and become fascinated with the spider. A great entry for the contest. I look forward to seeing more of your post in 2025. Happy New Year and Good Luck in the Contest.

This nature shot of the spider is a visual treat! Your framing draws the eye beautifully, and the play of light and shadows, combined with the rich colours, makes it truly captivating. Good lick! Here is my six for you.Well done!
