The colors speak of death Balan. The dead grey weed with the muted greys and beiges of the spider. The only lively color is the bright abdomen of the antlion, and it is dying fast, all set against the dark BG. Interesting in many ways.

The larger view looks great, Balan, with excellent detail in the plant stalk, spider, and prey.  The color of the antlion stands out very well in the midst of all of the darkness and the browns and grays of the plant and spider.
