Growing up, I always remember seeing these guys in my various field guides and being frustrated that they did not range into my area.
Photographically, this is one of the most effective and cool uses of shallow DoF I've seen. The way the web almost completely vanishes, leaving the spider hovering, is quite the visual effect.
This is a beautiful image. I love macro shots like these. I only wish that there was not that distracting purple spot and the focal point was more to the left or right for a better composition. Having the web at an angle would also have been a nice touch. But i love this photo. => 9
Cool shot; that bit of light in the background perfectly surrounds the spider and complements the actual light coming from below. This wouldn't work nearly as well if he were shot against one of the darker parts of the background.
lovely smooth bokeh. pleasing cool colors. and the subject is nicely lit and isolated against the bright spot of background. Aside from all that I really like it. ;)
