ok- i'm one of those "hates spiders" kinda person so my first thought is "OMG -SQUISH IT BEFORE IT GETS ANY CLOSER!!" ;) -- now that I got my horror at it being a spider out of the way ;) its a reallyi neat macro the lines of the nasty little buggers legs go well with the grain of the wood and the focus is sharp -- personaly i'd never get closer to this thing but I wonder what the image would look like closer ? it has this camo look to it blending in to its background rather naturally... (and my last thought is ICK i hate spiders; cool to look at in a photo tho!! :) horrifying to find in ones shower/bedroom slippers/or anywhere else they're unwanted :) :-D nice that this one was outside tho... ;) :-D it looks like a grass spider? what is that redish thing beside it? food?

Out of the Darkness

This is an interesting symmetrical composition, everything in focus nicely; and the illumination seeming to come from within the flowers is lovely -making it more artistic (which is to my tastes) - part of me wishes that stem wasn't there- but as i stare at it I enjoy the little splash of green that draws my eyes back down again... and it looks like one beautiful long flower tho I suspect its 3 flowers (i'm no expert on flowers) ;) -- the softness captured in texture is very nice; and its perfectly in focus giving it an a quality that is somewhat 3d -- personally I might have trimmed a little of the black from the bottom but I tend to crop too much I'm told -

Very lovely effect ! I like that you -didn't- crop out the woman because we'd still see a part of her arm/body or you'd loose the beautiful curve of the camel's head very nice capture!! :) I also love the tonal range you chose :)
