    Hello Chaman

    Interesting shot. I would have liked the spider to be larger in the frame. I like your composition, but the size of the spider is not big enough for my liking. Because of your unusual angle the spider web is not sharp, but I realize when you are shooting small objects the DOF is quite narrow.

    Re: Alien Spider

    This angle distorts due to it being such a closeup and the web itself is too blown out.
    This might be what you were after though and its just my taste.

    Is the spider from Mexico?
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Alien Spider

    Thanks for your words. This was actually shot with flash in a very unusual angle which resulted in brightness over the web and just enough light to see the spider without looking all white. This was taken here at my backyard in Puerto Rico. Shot was taken at night against the sky.
