Another interesting jumping spider image. I like the perspective - specifically the way he is hidden from view deep inside what looks like a foxglove blossom. I like the points of light in the eyes which emphasize and add interest to what looks like a facial expression. You don't indicate whether this has been cropped. For me, there is a lot of empty oof area to the left and bottom, and some of that could be cropped, at least for this web view. There is also a small oof gray object in front of the spider, just about at the middle of the flower, that is distracting and perhaps could be cloned out.

I am always entrhalled with jumping spiders and this is a nice picture of one, nice position, very interesting perch inside the flower. You don't indicate what lens you were using or if this is cropped (as Scott said) but it would be more riveting if the dead space was cropped out a bit more.
