Description

Either that, or it's a Shield Huntsman Spider sitting on my kitchen window. The red bead near its mouth is the eye of a house fly it has just caught, and nearly finished consuming. I love the spotty legs on these things.

Diffused off camera flash, EF100mm F/2.8L Macro, and stacked Kenko tubes. Just over 1.4x life size.

F/22, 1/125sec, ISO 200

To start off with what a great picture, <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

There is a good use of colour and detail in this picture. I love the range of tones in the pictures. But also the amount of detail captured on the legs of the spider. Being able to see the individual hairs and 'spots' as well.

I love the use of angel, showing you dont have to use a standard angle taking pictures of spiders. But also helps crop out any 'spare' space.

I wouldnt change the composition of the picture, as it works well.
Im unsure if a flash was used on the picture, but there seems a very patch on the stomach of the spider, i dont think this affects the picture at all.

Overall a great picture!
