      Naaaaah.

      I always find the flies just plain ugly - but I really like the shot of the spider.

      I like the background and colours, the details and hairs on the leaf and the angle of the shot. Most of all - I love the expression of the spider's face ..... LOL

            Well, you caught my attention with the spider.... what an expression ... it's hard looking at a photograph like that without putting human characteristics onto it .. I can well imagine what it was thinking..... "What you doing down here?" Joking apart it's a cracking shot .. don't think I'd want to get that close.

              Ben,

              I don't know how many threads I missed while I was away, didn't have time yet to dig to the latest. I just saw your "Horror" thing

              I like them both.
              I tried to read the EXIF info, but its not there.
              I would prefer a slight different DOF if possible, though I don't know under what kind of circumstances were taken.

                Hi Ben,

                Two great macros.

                Even though the spider has a very shallow depth of field you've got the face in focus. Scary.

                I don't think the picture of the fly works quite as well, I think a tighter crop to cut down on the light area (top left) and amount of green space (right side) would help.
