Huuuuuugggggge 'Tarantula Hawk' wasp... Wish I'd had a better, less cluttered angle. This is a pretty big crop. He was about 2" long, hanging out on a willow eating something leggy... I was prepared to run away screaming, should he fly toward me. This is the 100L + an extension tube (12mm perhaps?).
And a teeeeeny white spider on a small rose flower (Darlow's Enigma
) late this evening. This is the 50mm f/1.8 + 50mm extension. Not sure if this shot really works, not quite a flower photo, not quite a spider shot either. I like the white on white effect.

Think you are right re #2 - only suggestion re that one would have been to frame the flower better and perhaps have the spider in the bottom left corner.
Think with #1 would have liked to see the whole bug (unless perhaps the bottom half was obscured?)

You guessed correctly on #1. I tried to move the most offending branch after a couple shots of the wasp, and he moved to an even worse position and then flew off. :-)
agree with Brian on compositions, think the spider would have to fill atleast 1/4 of the frame to work
