I like the expression on this spider's face, captured while sitting on a clematis (the spider, not me). I also like how the spider's legs sort of match the filaments of the clematis. Nikon D700, 180 macro, extension tube, iso 400, 1/15 sec, tripod. Larger image included. Please look at the larger image to see the detail of the spider's face. Thank you. Comments, questions, suggestions all welcome.

Cool spider shot, Scott. This guy at least has a fairly cute face unlike many scary spider faces. I like his expression and the spread out pose you have captured. Good DOF choice with clear details on his face. The white flower helps showcase the brown spider well, especially those spiky legs. Nice find!

Great spider shot, Scott. Love that expression. The larger image really shows the personality of this little guy.

Very cool "expression", Scott. I like the angle you got on it.

Scott:
This fellow must be very small. Cool expression.

Great POF on the face, like the spiders wide stance and this setting rocks

He does have such a sweet doleful face! I really enjoyed looking at the large version!
