*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image assumed to meet the challenge.

What an excellent macro, they are really quite scary but fascinating at these sort of magnifications. The flash you have used has good and bad points in your exposure, I'm not keen where it has illuminated the legs to some small parts of bright highlights but I do like the way it has picked out the individual facets of the eyes it really is showing them up well. The iridescence of the eyes is looking good too. It is filling the frame well with the supporting branch rising from the bottom its all working well together.

Thank you for an interesting submission, sorry for the delay in critique, Sid

Wow. Every ugly detail captured. Weird. Great shot.

Great macro and detail. Only complaint is the black background that comes from using to much flash in macro photography, gives an artificial appearance in my opinion. One other thing is be aware that vertical shots require scrolling to see the entire image.
