Reverse macro jumpers

Giphsub

and a few other shots from the garden today. All taken with my reversed lense, and only natural sunlight. No stacking done. Gee reversed lenses are hard to use! I think I only got about 1 keeper in about 15 shots... Anyway, C&C welcome.
The jumping spider was about 4 mm long.

Nice shots but does that spider really have 4 eyes or does it just look that way ? Weird.

Giphsub

It most certainly does. In fact on the side shots you'll notice it has some more around the side.

Thanks Brian. Not being fully into macro, ie. setup, etc., I take what I can get and mostly shoot natural light.

I found using a reverse lens way too frustrating myself.

Least your little Jumping Spider was co-operative.
I love the shots where it looks like its begging like a dog.

Thanks Skippy! My wife keeps reminding me that I said I'd make do with the reverse lens for a while (dammit!) That begging shot is quite funny isn't it.
