    Macro of Jumping spider (Spike) and not so macro crab (Notnemo)

    Hi all, here are 2 images the first is of Spike, quite a tough little guy, i have a few of battling it out with a Bigger jumping spider, unfortuantley not as sharp, both came out alive thank goodness. I love the fact you can see his "eye lashes" reflecting in the flash.

    The second is of Notnemo, some time of crab , not a big guy at all but only had my 18-55mm kit lens with me at time so got low to his level to get this one of him.

    #1 PLEASE VIEW Spike on FULL screen

    #1 is very nice Notnemo is very cute but the blurred object on the top right corner is distracting.Would some cropping from top help ?

    Claudio,

    Spike's great and love the reflections in the eyes. Those wee crabs are not easy to get close to they are pretty skittish and I have often thought of setting up by their holes in the sand and just waiting for them to emerge.

    just to be really really picky (and only because these shots are so very fine) both shots could stand a little cleaning up in either the fore or back ground.
