Hi Justin,

A nice composition and exposure, however I find the flower bud covering the left of the spider abit distracting. Thanks for the tips regarding the image resizing.

Kind regards Chris.

Hi Justin,

The detail in this image is astounding :eek: The head and eye's of the fly do hold my attention, so the OOF bud covering the Spider is slightly distracting but not a major prob IMO.

Regards

Rob

Hi Justin

Superb detail where it matters - the OOF bud doesn't bother me as the action really grabs my attention!

Hi Justin

Excellent detail and a great natural history shot. I would crop a little of the empty space from the lower part of the frame, but a minor point, it works fine as it stands.

cheers
