Negative points are the harshness of the light (which you knew - many on here use home-made diffusers on 580s and 430s), leaf-hairs across the spider's eyes, and just not really very much of the spider showing. The pale patch at the bottom is a little distracting, but could easily be cropped out. I'm being picky, but I'm guessing that's what you're looking for. Mark.

Thanks for the comments. I'll definitely crop it closer. After looking through some of the amazing pics on this forum, I realize I need to crop pretty much everything closer. Its great to see people who know what they're doing, and also willing to answer questions! _______________

Just as with larger-scale wildlife shots, sometimes a wider shot can show a much better context of the creature's habitat. There's a place for both, and it makes for good variety too. Mark.

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Yeah, cropping definitely depends on the shot and what you're looking to express with it. I think this one could definitely use a tighter crop, but I kind of like the peek-a-boo effect of the hairs hiding a part of the spider's head. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | Dec 30, 2009 18:34 | #9 I don't know, this shot just oozes jumper-ness. He's in there hiding to see what's going to happen. The shot tells the story about jumpers you won't get from yet another processed shot to show some trait they don't have. What you want to do with crop and levels should be left for another shot.

racketman Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 30, 2009 18:40 | #10 makes a change from the usual close up of the eyes, I like to see environment shots just as much as ultra close ups. Toby
