Default Garden Spider - My first DPS Submission
Hello!

The title is a bit lame, but I couldn't think of anything clever or creative for my first post. So we go.



Backyard - 10-20-2009 - Hanging Out - small


I was ridiculously excited to catch this garden spider back in October.

Critiques are more then welcome.

Thanks for viewing.

Tony

WELCOME TO DPS!!

Great image, nice colors. I like how you can barely see the web, it's almost as if he's floating. Awesome!

Welcome to DPS Tony! m not really fond of spiders but you make them look cool..i like the bokeh..(i also rock my brain silly for titles but looking at my photos and what grabbed me for taking it usually helps..not that i am good at titles though..find Steve (beachcomber)..he's the expert on titles..)

Welcome to DPS! This is a really great start, I like how the spider seems to pop out of the image. he is very details while the background is peerfectly blurry. Very nicely done!
