These two spiders covered big area for insects. I concentrated only on first one and tried to seperate it from bg.I realy donot know if this bright bg works ok.

Thanks and requesting your valuable c & c

Works for me, Venu. I like the bg and the comp, including the way you included the oof twin in the bg. Well done. While this works, part of me wishes that you got closer and that the spider was larger and more discernible in the frame. Maybe you got some alternate closer up versions of this spider.

I really like the shimmering web and the oof spider in the background to this nicely captured insect. The brightness of the bg is not a problem, Venugopai - actually a plus in my opinion.

I think the background works fine...it gives an interesting sense of motion. Until I read your description, I was thinking that the oof spider was the shadow of the subject. You've handled the two spiders very well.

Hi Venu,

The color patterns of this orb weaver are very interesting. I agree with other viewers that getting closer will help this image quite a bit. I like the background and the spider in the background...........................Jim

The bright bg helps your spider stand out even more. I like how you created an echo out of the other spider. Bg is lovely

The bright background is very beautiful! I like the color and sense of motion in the background. The echo of the second spider is nice too. Very well done!
