[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a nice little crab spider, but its shadow looks like something being cast by a spider monster in an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

This was taken with a bright sun high in the sky, and that generated the shadow bigger than the spider.

Hope you enjoy,
Reid

I don't believe it's legs are the same delicious then the real crabs... COlors are excellent! Rich contrast and i enjoy the texture the leaf bring here!

Dear Reid,
yes, the shadow is more imaginative than real figure, also I think. and Alfred Hitchcock often applied this effect to enhance the feeling of thrill...indeed.
this your macro shot is very clear to express real figure of the spider and the lief. and the shadow is well captured in the image.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Reid, excellent shot of the spider. Haven't seen one that looked like that, interesting colors, must be one of the garden type that are brightly colored. TFS

Hi Reid, splendid macro with perfect focus and excellent details, good sharpness and great colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Okay Reid, I don't do spiders AT ALL - but this one has such appealing colours and looks more like a crab (love those) that I can look at it without getting shivers.
A great catch - nice touch that strong large shadow and wonderful colours.
