Crabby (C)
Crab Spider (Misumena vatica) on Dianthus.
Had a right game with this little sod ! he kept twitching one leg and thats not good when you are playing with stacked images. Still a long way to go but damn good fun. Hundreds of chuck outs and this one is not too sharp. But you can't win em all. Considering this litle fella is onlyabout 10mm across.
Makes birds easy ! :eek: :eek:
D200
Sigma 50 mm macro
5 images stacked
20th second @ f5.6 100 ISO
Window sill set up.
CZM and levels 805 of full frame.

Works for me John, I like the strong colours of the flower as a foil to the pale spider.
