Shots of various types of spiders

Hiya guys,

Several shots of various spiders from the past few weeks. These first 2 are my faves, the 2nd shot is a crop of the first shot and rotated 180º in Photoshop. Colours were pretty much like this, didn't do much tweaking in Photoshop as I didn't have to!

3. I like this shot because of the colours and almost 3D effect of the leaf against the backdrop.

Crop of #4. Trying to be a bit creative with my cropping. Does anyone know of any good tips on cropping and how to? It's something I find very hard to do...

Excellent captures and as you mentioned, amazing colours- esp like the green version

Thank you for the kind words. The green spider was another one that was happy to pose over a period of a week. Amazing.

Hiya Dave,
Those are nice shots, I like #2 & #4 best, #2 'cause its a weird lookin critter & #4 'cause its just a good shot or should I say composition
Cheers for now

very nice series dave............number 4 is still my fave

Thanks Mark and Alan I have to say #4 is my fave of the series as well, with #2 following closely behind. A mate of mine was over on the weekend and he was very impressed with #2 (I had it as a wallpaper on my PC).

Very nice shots. #3 and #4 are my favorites.

Great spider shots, ~2 and #3 I my favs.

Thanks for the kind words guys! My eye must be OK, since most people do seem to be gravitating to the images that I like the best.
