Folks,
Here is a funnel web spider at the entrance of its den. The one that got a honorable mention at the IPA. Intentionally composed this way to place it on one corner of the funnel.

7D, Extn tubes, led lit from the sides,

Both the lighting and the positioning of the spider look great, Balan.  You've also got great details in the spider.  I like the bits of debris in the web.  A well deserved honor.

Balan,
This is excellent and the large version is impressive.
I believe the choice of the black border on the smaller version is distracting the way it came out for you, not your fault, one of those live and learn moments. I believe you can change the border color to white in the edit window but you have to know the color code number to do that. I have not figured out how to bring up the color codes in the new version versus the old as of yet.
Get image, cool POV and well done . . .  devil

Balan, Great light setting and wonderful capture. The dark mood goes well with the creepy predator. Congrats on your award!
