web to web."

Nice closeup. Is it really flying, or hanging from a web?

I like the blues, but I think more of a sense of "flight" would have been felt if you could have adjusted the contrast or something so that web wasn't showing.

He looks like humpty dumpty! Otherwise there is a lot of noise and it is soft.

No flight? I've seen spider babies "fly" a streamer of web, but this is an adult (too heavy for that kind of flight). I see a lot of web.....It's a pretty picture with a reasonable amount of detail. 6 Rob the Swash

Aside from it not really being in flight, it is not really very sharp or clear either. The fact that you got bits of web is nice.

I like the tone of blue in the background. Pity your spider isn't fully sharp though.

the focus seems off and there is a lot of pixilation

This is a nice image of a spider and I like the blue background, but I admit that I don't follow where flight comes in.
