Good stuff. The background really is the strongest part, with the spider being close to the right amount of blur and the fly being half-way there.
Also feels a bit grainy, like there is a bit too much crop, but that's forgiveable. |

yeah, had a hard job focusing on this one. The action all seemed to go down so fast that i just took a few shots on continuous and this was the most clean of the group.
I was doing the green macro while being buzzed by a fly, i was swatting at him to get away and a few seconds later noticed the spider on the move in the web.
I tried to focus on the fly as much as i could because the spider is fairly obvious even blurred, and i thought if i could get a good shot with the fly in the web it would hold up even in an expert editing challenge.
I'm *trying* to be ambitious in some of my recent shoots, they're just not working out as well as i had hoped and i've had to scrap entire shoots because i just have flaws that most non-photographers would consider minor or inconsequential but would get me torn to shreds here.
Thanks for the vote of confidence that I am getting better though, it's great to hear and really means a lot! :) |

| The spotlit background really puts the focal point on the out of focus spider and that fights for control with the more in focus fly. It gives the image a certain tension that is unique and also complimentary to the tension between the predator and prey. |

| I really want to give this a higher vote. I wish something, anything, was a little more in focus. Right now the fly and the spider are both out of focus. |
