      most definitely creepy, and most definitely a great shot (I like how his eyes are the same colour as the pollen).

      Fantastic. Amazing detail

      You wouldn't like flash either if you had 8 eyes.

      Wonderful crab spider. Bet the flash hurts their great eyes! Excellent capture.

      Nice Macro, it would have been a 10/10 it the spider was slightly more in focus rather then the closest point of the flower

    15. mackelundberg (49 months ago | reply)

      There's something about the lighting.. did you use a flash? Colors seem very flat to me somehow.. and the DOF is a bit distracting. Do like the captured spider though..

      Hmm..

    18. CamaraPhotography (49 months ago | reply)

      Cool. I wish the focus was a bit sharper on just the spider. But it's a really good shot.
