Description

MATTTIDBALL.COM It was really strange to observe this little creature's movements. His head was tilted up at me and he followed the lens around. The eyes are so big and attentive that in an absurd way, they seem intelligent.

Spiders are intelligent. They can hunt changing tactics depending on their prey. And they try to communicate with a 3D spider that gestures in the same way they do - it looks totally incredible! Too much Discovery channel? Anyways, superb shot, very impressive. And the white bg was a great choice.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, that is totally awesome...no discovery channel for me, no TV at all (some books, magazines, internet :D)! you're too damn good in doing this kind of job! respect! it would be a good present for Niu - mail one to her; she will have a great day trying to verify what she's already know from discovery! :))

Why would they not be? Does size measure intellence? As size lessens does life lose significance? I doubt it. A Wonderful capture! I glanced through some of your work and decided based on the quality need to add you! :D
