mmm..... I'm an idiot and had some water in a glass bottle out the back (had plants in it), but unfortunately the mossies found it ..... was about to empty it all out when I spotted this little jumping spider get a snack ..... and then did my usual - turned it high key

but I do really like the reflection on the glass

That's really cool Rel. Almost looks like someone joined a few different creatures together. Kinda looks like some kind of alien on a spiders body - with a bit of mozzie to boot.
Love the reflections too.

Amazing!!

Cheers, Mick

Fantastic image. One of the best.

thanks guys

This is the shot taken just as the spider had caught the mossie .... but not as sharp .....

Does remind me of a dog though ------

"There's no way you are taking my dinner" !!!

I first thought the reflection was part of the PP, great job spotting this one!!

Thought I'd post this so you can see what I did .....

All I did in PS was crop, and 'convert' to high key ....
These are the originals, with the crop in the top left hand corner and the final in the bottom right ....
and complete with nasty nasty dust bunnies !!!!!

Thanks for the extra shots Rel.
These are fantastic action shots. I love the reflections.
I dont like bunnies either
Regards Colin

Amazing Rel and thanks for posting the originals.. just so we know your semi human... (at least some of the magic is PP) the rest is all you !!!!!

Reflections are awesome, and add another point of interest.

Rel - your photographic contribution to the forum is nothing short of inspirational - great stuff again! You should be submitting some of these outstanding macro images to the appropriate journals/mags!! Sensational

Rel,

What Geoff said. These are just amazing.

And there seems to me to be a real face, with a great expression, on the spider in these too.

What would it be like if you were to just crop the first one down to just the fact and the fangs? I think you have something that almst looks cute and cuddly: hardly how one might normally consider a spider..
