Beautiful detail, Balan. Perhaps if you could darken the background a bit the spider & prey would jump out even more?

Great macro action image, Balan. Nice detail on the spider and its victim. Only nit is the blown leaf at the top. I'd darken it if possible and, if not, consider cropping it.

Outstanding sharpness here, Balan. I also like the overall brightness. It really lets the details in the spider and its prey shine.

Hi Balan,

This is a nice action shot of a jumping spider with prey. I like the lighting as is and agree with mark about how the bright lighting brings out detail on the spider's body.......................Jim

The overall brightness/lightness level works well, great details Balan.
Always a treat to see a good jumper with prey shot, higher degree of difficulty with their inherent small size:toast:
