Pretty in pink?

Was going to photograph a rose when I saw this spider hiding between two petals. Usually I don't see them until after I have taken the photo.

That's definitely lurking, John. The overall pinkness looks great and the way those eyes stare out of the larger version is very dramatic.

Very cool photo, John. Love the angle and the neat way it fits between the petals.

Hi John, wonderful capture the thumb doesn't really give you a hint of what to expect - a great surprise when I opened it - retaining the angle of the spider combined with a good heads on view creates a sense of menace at odds with the 'pretty' colour - like it!

Scary! Head and shoulders above your spider and inchworm. The juxtaposition of the dainty pink color and the menacing spider is inspired! devil

Excellent spider image, John. The detail in the spider is outstanding, and I like the nice angled comp. devil
