Wonderful macro shot, Andrey! I really like the comp with the spider sitting on a mushroom in the right third of the picture. The moss adds much with its contrasting color to the orange mushroom. I think you have just the right DOF for this with excellent details on the spider and nicely progressively blurred moss background.

Very nice. The presence of the spider makes the shot.

What a great scene and what a great perch for a jumping spider.
