Amazing detail as usual. Also like the strands of web. Maybe a little BIF for me but thats just personal choice. Ian will approve

Second one for me David,great BG and the composition looks great,side on etc,very nice :wink: :wink: :wavey:

I'm not sure between the two, they both have their merits for me, good comp in both but the BG is better in the second.

Undecided on which, but both excellent clarity and shot !

Like both David but the second is more 'dramatic' to me. It really looks as though it is about to pounce on it's prey. Well done.
