    Default Spiders Anyone

    While playing with macro photography these little guys kept getting in the way. Seems many of the larger flowers have their own little macro livestock living in the petals. These spiders are at best an inch with legs.

    I tried to make this work as a B&W but color seemed best suited.

    Look for the white spider in this photo.

    I actually like the colored version of the first shot. The colors are so vibrant and contrasting that it works really well.

    Nice! For sure keep them color, best to be able to see the spiders and vivid colors of the flowers in relation to their camo.

    Me too Ricardo, didn't do it justice with the B&W.

    I wonder if you removed whitey and then placed it on that other plant if it would change color?
