Wow Fred this is truly stunning knowing how small those crab spiders are amazing detail pin sharp throughout which is not easy with this type of photography, love the accurate colours especially in the whites and the light is perfect!

Comment from Zilyram
Love spiders - well most of them anyway - this is an interesting one with the full body and near transparent legs. An excellent closeup allowing us to see the spider with great detail

Great photograph of this unusual spider. The pedals the he is sitting on creates a wonderful background. Nice details, composition and overall presentation, including nice description of what they are all about.

A beautiful subject that is photographed from a fine perspective. The flower petals make a great background and the spider looks great against them.

Comment from Sgoolsby
Great close up here!
Again with the spiders?? Lol! ð??? This almost has an abstract look to it which I love even though it is very real too. I love the tilt of the spider and the color of the petal with the spider. Great clarity!! The only thing I might have done is lightened it up just a touch! Well done!!

Comment from Lucien van Oosten
The image look well composed, the angle of the spider in the composition, feel like he might jump at an unsuspecting prey out side of the viewer preview, and that adds a nice bit of drama to the image.
Clarity or focus on the as is the handling of the light in the image.
Thank you for having allowed me to review your photo take care , Lucien.
