Macro Jumping spider among a sea of yellow

Jumping spider among a sea of yellow · 03:37 PM

im very dissapointed with the way this image came out, but its still decent. I spent a good 30+ minutes editing this shot only to have my computer freeze and die as I click "save as"

I can't get it to look anything like the way I had it so im pretty irritated at this point. Still a cool subject however, and worthy of sharing IMO.

(yes that is its web infront of it)

I hate spiders, I hate spiders, I hate spiders.

Now I got that out of the way, this is a truly amazingly great shot. TFS

Those jumping spiders *are* amazing, and you did this one well. Great capture, well done!!

Yeatzee, thanks for posting the larger view. The reflections in that guy's eyes are awesome. Well done.

Those reflections make it seem like that spider (while looking at Yeatzee) is thinking: "Yeah, I think I can take him."

Thank you guys! He/she was one fiesty little bugger, jumping on my lens several times

There is nothing wrong with that image, it is a good photograph and thank you for posting it. I know how hard it is to get these little jumpers right, as a rule they do not sit there and pose for you but are rather quick to move about.

Thanks, and yes your right they seem like they are on a sugar high 100% of the time
