Krunal,
I really like the POV and the "eyes contact" you got here. I also like the tunnel effect of the web. Beautiful image. :toast:

Great spider image. Comp., dof and color all work very well together.

This is awesome Krunal. The short dof doesn't bother me, it works here. The spider is clearly saying, "don't come in here!" Excellent. :toast: :toast:

Quite an effective presentation, and one that makes me feel just a little bit like prey.

This is the kind of photo that really humbles me. Perfect :toast:
