Buggy. Interesting. Maybe a little more color.
03/17/2009 08:04:29 PM
Great shot.
03/17/2009 04:12:08 PM
Excellent capture!
03/17/2009 03:50:12 PM
eewww they are so nasty, but so fascinating. Great detail!
03/17/2009 02:01:42 PM
The colors in this seem a little to pale for the feast that is taking place, ferocious nature.
03/17/2009 10:19:12 AM
Dramatic study of the brutality of nature
03/16/2009 09:59:11 PM
great details. Nice catch of green in bee wing.
03/16/2009 09:45:56 PM
colors are a bit flat, great timing
03/16/2009 04:29:08 PM
Nature takes its course. Nice close-up of a spider sitting down to dinner. I like the soft focus of the flower it's on.
03/16/2009 03:40:52 PM
Mmmmm, lunch! Nice capture
03/16/2009 12:44:14 PM
Good find. Looks a bit overexposed, though
03/16/2009 10:36:17 AM
Very nice close-up, good bokeh.
03/16/2009 10:24:17 AM
perfect moment but not that perfect detail its a bit overexposed and Im use to sharper staff from such extreme macro photographers, I give just six, sorry

;D brano
03/16/2009 04:02:07 AM
very scary
03/16/2009 03:21:09 AM
Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous.
03/15/2009 06:45:39 PM
Great moment captured, great sharpness and DOF.
03/15/2009 05:02:35 PM
Great catch! Wonderful details and light. I like the soft looking flower.
03/15/2009 03:27:46 PM
A nice capture but the composition is rather bland and the blown highlights are a bit distracting for me.
03/15/2009 02:32:52 PM
Fantastic detail!
03/15/2009 11:59:19 AM
A good find! Light is a bit harsh.
03/15/2009 09:40:13 AM
On second look I'm bumping up my score. Good detail
03/15/2009 06:28:18 AM
Eeeeeee a bug. Good action photo. Could do with a bit of post processing. Add a little contrast and maybe saturate the colours a bit
03/14/2009 08:23:27 PM
great catch...
03/14/2009 06:58:12 PM
nice macro capture.
03/14/2009 06:44:29 PM
great capture
03/14/2009 03:50:43 PM
Good macro. I like that he is upside down.
03/14/2009 03:14:00 PM
wow! cool shot! They're both kinda creepy.
03/14/2009 01:10:21 PM
Wow - nature can be quite vicious!
03/14/2009 11:42:47 AM
yuck...I hate spiders....good focus...moving on...sorry
03/14/2009 10:49:46 AM
Looks like he caught his lunch.
03/14/2009 08:44:18 AM
I usually touch type but this time I'm staring at the keyboard. I have a serious spider phobia so this one is hard for me to look at, but that's my problem, not yours!
03/13/2009 07:56:54 PM
wow, really cool capture, took me awhile to really see what was going on
03/13/2009 06:31:27 PM
Great job catching the spider at work. Poor little hoverfly probably didn't what hit it. Technically just slightly overexposed. If the brightspots on the spiders abdoment where a product of PP then this is really worth a re-edit to make it shine even more because it's a great shot. (no vote)
03/13/2009 03:20:53 PM
Good composition and excellent clarity.
03/13/2009 02:58:35 PM
Eew. :) I think I would have tried to burn some of the hot spots on Mr. Spider... Sharp on Mr. Bug, though.

Not voting yet.
03/13/2009 12:03:52 PM
yikes! Great close up
03/13/2009 10:36:13 AM
just a bit overexposed to me
03/13/2009 03:19:18 AM
I hate to look at spiders!!! From the few peeks I've had, it looks like a good quality macro :)
03/12/2009 05:20:38 PM
Feel sorry for the bee but happy for the spider. Good pic.
03/12/2009 04:38:14 PM
Great macro capture. Would like to have seen the color bumped up a tad but still a great shot.
03/12/2009 01:09:14 PM
great macro if a little over exposed, could use more contrast.
03/12/2009 10:07:31 AM
Great macro, poor fly but overall it feels overexposed
03/12/2009 09:28:24 AM
Good composition. Somewhat disturbing to see death so close, even if it is just bugs.
03/12/2009 09:07:32 AM
well captured,just a tiny tad too bright on my screen. 7
03/12/2009 08:32:32 AM
Good detail but to much light.
03/11/2009 09:03:11 PM
Neat Macro
03/11/2009 09:01:17 PM
Nice sharp macro.
03/11/2009 07:48:33 PM
Good action macro.. wonder who will win the fight. One critique is that they colours are a little flat, and could use a boost.
03/11/2009 07:24:19 PM
One life ends so another can go on. The cycle of life.
03/11/2009 04:12:44 PM
National Geographic quality.
03/11/2009 12:16:46 PM
You get a medal of bravery for getting so close! Incredible capture. Love the dof, would have liked a tad more contrast.
03/11/2009 10:43:41 AM
Good macro, love the depth of field!
03/11/2009 10:16:49 AM
Interesting shot, I like the details you were able to capture.
03/11/2009 05:04:53 AM
eeek
03/11/2009 03:42:03 AM
great detail
03/11/2009 02:37:41 AM
Amazing capture (excuse the pun!)

Unfortunately the image lacks 'punch', perhaps more contrast and/or saturation and sharpening.
03/11/2009 01:07:43 AM
nice macro
