This one is for Sambucus, love your spider macro's. I've mixed feelings about spiders, beautifull but also scary! Tried to put some of my emotions in this photo with photoshop!? PapaGuru

I like the colours in this picture, but I don't think you should have brightened up the legs, and torso that hard. Other than that...it's an excellent picture :-)

I`ve photographed this species, Brachypelma smithii, dozens of times but the treatment you have given it makes this outstanding. Thanks for the dedication, PapaGuru.

I think you're title says it all: on one hand, the postwork on this makes it almost surreal, alien...which I think looks very cool. That in turn makes me want to see the original version, which is probably just as good. Excellent work.

nice postwork - really does make it feel more threathening - highlighting the legs brings out the arachnaphobia in me! perhaps a tad tighter selection on the upper legs as the lightness translates to the ground. nevertheless, avery evocative pic:o)

Quite impressive! I love what you did...the bold colors, the special lighting...it feels as though it will jump off my monitor and perhaps splash into my coffee cup! LOL! I like your beginnings very much!
