This is very cool - the rainbow colours behind the spider are great.
Unfortunately, the large image is quite soft.

Gerald this is a beautiful canvas for the crab spider. I always look for something like this. The softness and low contrast is visible. May be this can be corrected in processing.

Lovely composition and colours and the spider adds the extra touch.
Unfortunately the spider head is out of focus. From other areas in the photo you can see that there is sharpness there, just not in the 'right' place. But overall a captivating image.
Grt, Ingrid.
