This is my first posting on this site. My father, Richard Sogn, has posted many photos from our Hikes.
I shot this crab spider along the Salmon River trail, by ZigZag, Oregon.

Oh no! not another Erik/c!!! (just kidding!) Welcome to the forum!
good shot Erik. The fact that he's wet is a cool touch. I think I'd crop off the left half of the frame though. It doesn't really contribute much to the comp IMHO.
Cool shot Erik. It looks pissed and ready to pounce.

I've never seen one of these spiders before. You captured him in a great pose. I agree with Curtis about cropping--this looks pretty cool in a square crop too.

Very cool, creeps me out just looking at it
I like the crop suggestion as well.

That's pretty cool, Erik. The drops on the spider's back are a nice detail in this image.
