I absolutely Love how camouflaged this Wolf Spider is on this sand. It was a real challenge to not cutoff his legs they blended in so well!

At first sight I didn't even notice that the legs almost stretch to the border of the frame. Amazing camouflage indeed. Good dof, nice soft light and I like the position of the spider. Well seen and executed.

Definitely well camouflaged! This is great because of how well the legs match the sand grains and how much detail you've got in the individual grains of sand. In the "large" view, I can barely spot how far the back legs extend.

A super example of camouflage, Steve. Amazing how they can blend right in. This is very interesting and well captured!

That is amazing camo Steve. You did an excellent job capturing the detail not only for the spider, but for the grains of sand too. Nicely done.

This is super!
It is not easy to see the legs.

Very well seen!

Amazing, Steve. I would be even more amazed if someone complained that the subject doesn't stand out from the BG blush
