Goggles

I got this image while in Gods Own Country - Kerala last week. It was cloudy all the day and the spider was too active, could manage only at higher ISO.
70D, 90mm Tamron, 1/250 sec;   f/4.0;   ISO 800

Thanks in advance for your comments....

Those eyes are terrific, Swathiraj.  Yes, it does look like goggles.  The strong corner-to-corner diagonal of the leaf edge was a good choice.  Well done.

To me it looks more like the spider is holding binoculars. I especially like the focus on the narrow area along the edge of the leaf.

Thats a nice tiny little spider with beautiful eyes. Nice decision on the diagonal comp.

Swathiraj, I like the diagonal composition and the placement of the spider in the frame. Nice shapes and colors too. Cute shot!
