The lighting works great here, Balan.  It show the spider as nicely translucent and accentuates the flower buds beautifully.  As a minor nit, I wonder if it's possible to tone down the over exposure on the buds near the bottom.  This could be a good place for the 15% clone technique from Harley Goldman that's described in the California Nature Photographers Forum (CANP) under Resources.  http://nocal.naturephotographers.net/canp-resources1.html

Excellent, Balan. I'll second Mark's excellent suggestion. Fix that blown out bud and this will be even better. The spider, upper flowers, and bg are all outstanding.
