Excellent captures and I agree, cute

Top stuff.

I was definitely agreeing with "cute" for the first two slides. Then spider started devouring and all of a sudden, the crisp detail and clarity you presented started becoming somewhat of a downside rather than a benefit for me (it seems I have a weak stomach :oops:

) The second shot captures "innocence" particularly well, and could work on its own (like I said, weak stomach).

Excellent photos!

Great stuff! Did it catch the fly or did you feed it to him/her ?

very nicely done...

and great timing with the capture of a fly...

cheers

spiders will never be cute! Reminds me of a mini cooper for some reason. (though at least mini cooper can be cute, with the right driver)

Great captures though , well done

some GREAT shots there!

I have a friend who was doing macro shots recently and couldnt work out why he suddenly could not focus even after moving back away from the stick the spider he was shooting was on.....

seems the spider decided that the "other spider" in the reflection of his lens looked "a bit alright" and jumped to the lens from the stick. Thankfully my friend is no arachnophobe. LOL

Awsome SHots... top stuff

I had my doubts about the subject, but they were unfounded. At least until pic 3.

Mark - I'd be minus one camera if that happened to me.

Fantastic shots, by the way!!

Encore!!

GREAT Shots my fav's are no 2 & 5...

I know that all I will ever be able to do is look at other peoples pic's; as spiders scare the living daylights out of me!!!!! Can't say that I have EVER or will EVER have 'cute and spider' in the same sentence :shock:

Saying this your pics are still vibrant with the colour green, and have great field of depth. From my rookie eye anyway (that is

)
