 Found A beautiful Wide-Jawed Jumping Spider that was very docile and curious at the same time, it jumped onto my camera a few times.
In post process, I adjusted contrast, saturation, cloned away some highlights, sharpen ( maybe a little too much) and finally cropped and resize.

STUNNING detail, I can even see reflections in his eyes. Really remarkable macro (and I think jumping spiders are adorable!).
