Whoa, this is completely terrifying! Lol!! A great shot with excellent clarity showing off the details of this hideous (in my opinion) arachnid. The angle shows how well the thing is able to kind of disguise itself as part of the leaf. Nice sharp focus and attractive dof.

Very interesting position of this tiny spider , the legs are all folded in. You have captured it well and I see good detail including the tiny hairs on its striped legs. I like the wY it is hidden in the leaf and the way the leaf seems to cradle it. Well focused, nice clear image with good light management. Colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
