    Default Spider with shadow.

    Wildlife of any kind here? Had a tough time chasing this little guy down a wall. Not perfect, but ok, i thought. Good enough to share.

    The shadow idea is good. I have a few too many spiders here, but thankfully they're all hiding now.

    I agree - I like the shadow here, too bad the focus isn't tack on the spider.

    Yup, the shadow makes the picture very interesting, but I also wish the spider's head was in focus, and if you had been able to get the whole spider and shadow all in focus, it would be a stunner. Anyway, nice idea and attempt.

    I agree with the otehr comments so far. The plain background also works well.

    Thanks for the comments folks. I liked the pic as well, even though the focus was off. I thought it was a "fun" idea. I tried to talk the little dude into posing for me but he was having none of that....

    Yes, very well captured Zukie, and a very hard subject to capture, especially on the move. Love the shadow play.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Very cool. I really like this guy and his shadow but agree that to take it to the next level it would have been much nicer to get him completely in focus. Still, nice work as it is.
