Wow ... aren't these spiders really poisonous? To think that you may have to garden around them is scarey to me.

Now ... to the photo. I stopped because I really liked the black on peach, with the inner glow framing the spider. It is as if you placed the spider in the perfect spot. Great light.

ms4jah says:

wow, you got so many comments views and faves on this one. Sorry I took so long to comment, been meaning to get to this for days now.
I think this is especially good because the cool looking critter is on a nice flower and the combination makes it a real winner. The black spider is shiney with long thin legs held up on this little points with a huge body, and the colors between the flower petals are so varied. AND the subject or content is so simple, bug and flower and nothing else to distract.

Well, it's been a while but I finally got the thing finished - now it is just a bit of fluff and fun and I couldn't have done it without you. I know it's been so long that you have probably forgotten about this but you gave me permission to use a couple of your spider images for an idea I had and I thank you so much for your generosity. Here is the image. Cheers! -Mark
