have you considered flipping the last 2 images so that the spider is right side up?

Good call Gooshin. I flipped one 90 and the other 180 degrees. In the last shot you can *really* see why they're called crab spiders.

I hadn't tried flipping these previously because my attempts on some similar photos with an upside down crab spider didn't look natural. But these definitely work better rotated IMO. Thanks.
