    Great shot! I like the angle, the wild looking hairs and the grumpy demeanor. And it appears we can see your flash in her eyes.

    Nice shot. Creepy, but nicely captured.

    Not only is it captured perfectly Steven that angle and foreground/background colours compliment it so well. And we even have the star affect in the highlights.

    Good one.

    yeah, sometimes shooting them is like doing some aerobics exercise 8)
    I discovered that they are more "dormant" in their natural environment as they would be waiting to pounce on unsuspecting preys.

    Grahame, thanks for the comments. I believe the exciting part of shooting bugs is not only getting a sharp image, but also seeing the highlights in it's eyes.
