D&L,
Great detail in the face and arms of the jumper. Lots of room around him/her so a vertical would also work nicely and possibly bring more attention to the spider and not so much to the negative space and the upper leaf. Great shot though, and a beautifully clean image. Well done.

Good look at this cute jumping spider, D&L. I normally would suggest un-centering the spider, but I like the comp overall, including the way you included the curving stem on the left and the space on the right, so I have no suggestions.

Hi,
Decenterring the spider will make the composition nore interesting to the eye.The head, eyes, palps, and forelegs are nice and sharp. Next time you see this spider try using a smaller aperture (f16-f22) and come in closer with your macro. The exposure and post-processing are nice and the spider shows up well against the dark leaf..........................Jim

I have to admit I think Jumping Spiders are really neat arachnids. I enjoyed your excellent views of the front of this spider getting the front sharp and spot on. However, I have agree with Jim and wished you had used a smaller aperture. These fellows are so small it would have been excellent to see the whole spider as sharp as the front of him. But, kudos for taking the shot knowing how quick the situation could have changed!

I like the soft light, twin-leaf perch, and contrasting brown stem that compliments the jumpers color..
Great details, well done

Thank you for the comments.
Yes, the position is a bit too central, but the presence of the curving stem could balance it, in some way.

D&L, this is a fine close view of this little spider with excellent details. I like how the looping stem coming in from the left creates a sense of motion. I could see cropping a bit off the top and from the left to move the spider off center. Great to see you posting.

No suggestions from me, but I would have liked to see more of the spider in focus.
