Apt title!
Really nice detail on the spider and petal he is on, and on the left FG leaves.
I'm vaguely uncomfortable with the comp - if possible, more room at the top and left would be nice, so the spider is not dead center (vertically) but lower.
You've really been refining your skills! You're posting some GREAT images!

I don't disagree, Sandy. I'll do some different crops. I think, too, it could be better. Thanks for comment. I can't believe that photography can keep getting more and more interesting after all these years.

I like the unique pov of both the sunflower and the spider, Charlie. Putting this another way, I think the comp works very well for the flower, and the semi-hidden spider is a nice bonus. Well done.

Charlie, I like this comp and that spider waiting for some action is a big bonus! Main subject sharp and the part of the flower that needs to be is sharp. Lighting is good. The spider being located on the right side of the comp works well. A goodun by my standards.
