It is much easier for me to look at this image and focus on the beehive lady than the actual subject, lol! You captured a little too much detail of this thing :) Great selection of color, and the web stands out nicely.

Haha haha haha! Your beehive hairdo lady with hands on her hips and pointed collar blouse is too much! What a great visual!
Nice choice of selective color, fine focus, humor, details and eww factor. Still not a fan of spiders but they are fun to Photograph.
Great capture!

Nice use of selective color to bring out the story. A spider lady on a spider. Not sure the negative space image would be as visible without the gray scale to focus on the area. Good focus. Well done shot. Interesting spider as well. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi Artist Charles, Thanks for the great review and noticing the "spider lady" on the spider". I thought that added an extra touch to the image.
Comment from cakemp55


This is quite incredible and the selective colour really makes the image of "Spider Woman" pop and look real hahah.
A very good macro shot of this interesting spider in his web. Excellent clarity and well framed.

Comment from Artistic Chick


Ewe,..... But what a finely detailed shot. I do lose some definition upon zooming my screen to capacity. But that's okay, you didn't take the photo at that level. You took it as it is posted, which is as sharp as my eye can see. The detailing of the web she has spun is part of the focal point. And after the number of hours it takes to build, it should be part of the focal point. I love the way you achieved this shot. B&W followed by selective color. Makes me wonder what color she was. The yellow makes her sure stand out against predators or maybe as a warning. I can see a face in the markings on her back. And I see the details of every part of this mellow looking spider. The yellow has grown on me. Really great job. Good luck.

    Hi Artistic Chick, The spider is actually BW with the yellow back. Glad you saw the image on the spider's back, it's kind of a picture in itself.

It is always nice to see alternate approaches. The selected colour really speaks here.I You have framed it well. The light and shadows, and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

This is an awesome entry for the selective color contest! This spider is awesome although I'm not a fan and f spiders, I really like the bright yellow, I can see the woman with the bee hive hairdo and she stands with her hands on her hips, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, good tonal variations in the black and white and I love that pop of yellow! Well composed with this spider in her web, nice web detail too! Best wishes to you in this contest!

    I don't think I'm a big fan of spiders myself, but I won't pass up a good shot at one. I'm glad you saw the image on the back of the spider as I did and felt I did a good job with clarity and exposure. Thanks for the great review and wishes for the contest.

I guess we generally see what we are looking for. Anyway this is a beautiful argiope that is particularly well suited to the selective color treatment. Best of luck in the contest.
