Hi Balan,

That is a cute little jumping spider. Eyes are pretty sharp and wish that there was more DOF.  However, the size and activity level of this spider made you go with f13.  You probably could not have pulled off a shot at f16.  I wish that you could have got the one OOF leg in the plane of focus. I like the comp, spider's tilted posture, and dark, but not black BG. I also like those tufts of black setae that look like eyebrows................................Jim

This one looks curious to me, Balan....  A great catch with outstanding details in the head and eyes.  Your comp., with the spider looking back into the frame looks great.

I pretty much agree with Jim's comments. The spider looks like it is wondering if you are edible.
