You really do capture amazing details in your work Chewys dad, and your pictures never fail to entertain and intrigue and I've decided I'm going to have a go at a web shot soon.

Really excellent shot of the spider. The fly isn't too shabby either. Good work.

Thanks Jack, I appreciate your comments. Actually the Fly is about 20 times the size of the spider. But I liked the theme.

Another two beauties Chewys Dad. Excellent detail and I just love the red eyes on that fly. Very well captured, and well spotted too. To capture these things, you first have to find them.

Ah this makes me want to do Macro Photography so bad but I only have a point and shoot c so I can't get as close.
I love how you can see all the details on the fly and the spider. The spider...well, he looks a little lonely
