    Welcome to the forum and good start :)
    think #2 is the best pic from a focus and composition POV. #1 and #3 both have missed the focus on the bugs eyes but can understand it in #3 where I suspect the abdomen colour/pattern was the attraction.

    ty very much!!! wings.gif

    yeah..the 2nd one was edited to make it more white or lighter...the original was a little darker....makes me think its some kind of winter monster scene..

    these bug/spider pics are giving me the creeps by the way.

    Hi there Jaraviss and welcome to the Forum :D
    So you got some new toys to play with ... congratulations thumb.gif

    The thing to be aware of when shooting bugs is KEEP THE EYES IN FOCUS.
    For you first post you've done very very well clap.gif considering it looks like you've picked some very tiny subjects as well.

    Hope you enjoy learning from the many folks here at Dgrin,
    and that you continue to share your work too :D

    Thanks for sharing .... Skippy :D
