[Wavelength]

Claudio,

Thank you very much

[Wavelength]

A doubt,
Need I tone down the yellow of the flower on left hand side?

Regards

Really great shot, Nandakumar. I don't know about toning down the flower, but I wonder if there's not a way to make this lady more interesting by moving her off dead center. A little clinical here - as she might appear in a "know your spiders" field guide. Not sure, though, what room you have in the original image. Might be fun to move her off dead vertical too. Getting the dynamics of a diagonal might add motion/dynamism and increase the heebeejeebee quotient for folks like me. And on my screen, there's a wee bit o' noise you might want to squelch a little.

Mark, thank you a lot; nice idea; sometimes i forget the problem of the subject being at the dead center
..and i think i should have selected a screen name "Noise" instead of "wavelength" , lolz

Aw, heck, Nandakumar - at least it's pretty noise!

Nandakumar,

It is an interesting image. My guess is a member of the orb weavers. As such they critters weave a fairly large web and themselves are generally right in the middle of it (often with a zig zag pattern of silk in the center as well). This being the case, 'tilting' the image would make it look odd in the same way as a tilted horizon or falling water.

I do like the color version, mostly because it's the color(s) that spiders have that make them so photogenic. I have somewhere some 35mm slides of a comparable orb web weaver, wrapping its prey up in silk. To my mind that's pretty much the only kind of action shot you can get with these kinds of spiders. That being said it's little different from the "Know Your...Spiders, Birds, Flowers, Insects" kind of shots that we all, at one time or other take.

Jack, thank you very much for your detailed information

Hi Nandakumar, very nice shot. If anything was different I would like to see more of the actual web included

A genuine suggestion; it is always nice to see the web along with spider...

Thank you very much Rita

From a distance the ruby colored area looks like a face.

Nice capture.

[Bobobird]

Nice one buddy, colour here too.

Those yellow streaks are just too nice to mutilate.
