What The Sea Creature Left Behind

Comment by yanko:
I really like the composition of this. The texture is also very interesting. The only thing I don't like is the top part which shows the background. Showing the background isn't a problem for me but the color of it makes the top part look dull, IMO.

This is at least the second "spider with a dark background" picture I've seen, and I've been confused both times as to why someone would feel this conveyed 'in the garden'. If the background were visibly gardeny, sure. But this could be anywhere.

It's a good shot; the lighting on the spider is good and it's a very well focussed close-up. It just doesn't do me topically.

Very good, I had one similar to yours, but it wouldn't compare, yours is much better...Good luck.

The harsh lighting is very effective here, and enhances the texture of your subject. Also very nice texture captured in the silk strand he's hanging from. Colour has been captured nicely given the harsh lighting. Good crop. 9
