A yellow spider in some flowers. (Newbie shot)

This is taken with my Pro1 that I got the other day. It was my second day out shooting. Please keep in mind that I'm a newbie, but I would still like to share my photo.

I would appreciate constructive criticism. Should I crop my image so show the spider off more? I tried cropping it several different ways but I could not find a way that looks nice, because I really like the flowers in the shot too.

Thank you.

I think you found yourself a crab spider hiding in there! Nice shot, if you turn "Image Editing" On in your profile, others will be able to edit and re-post your pictures, giving PP and cropping sugestions!

"Image Editing" is on.
Thanks Danny.

Quick crop and rotation, have to run. Let me know what you think

Well, I don't know much about PS but this is my shot at it. I know its too harsh but it's all I got.

First, I went into image and brought the levels up. I just slide the slider to where the information started. Then, as someone suggested in one of my posts yesterday I went to the layers palette and clicked on Channel.
I checked the red, blue, green layers individually and saw the blue was way out of focus. I went to the filters and applied sharpen edges.
Then I saved it to post here.

I tried to edit so I could attach the picture but it didnt work. Here it is.

I like both of them. I like the corp Danny did, it looks well balanced. I like the strong colors JTVal, it really makes the image pop.

I'm going to have to find myself decent photo editing software to tweak my images.

Here's a bit of both.
