Ok...the first one scared me and the second one...had somewhat the same effect. You can tell I don't like spiders Good pictures.

I may take off some of the right side on the second picture. Let the spider stand out on his own so to speak.

Thanks dogdots

Hi CPD23,

also new in macro....
#1 for me is to close-up....then the detail is not enough, better capture it the front view.
#2 usually they take the shoot more on the top than a perspective way.

Couple of good looking spiders!

1st has nice detail but the BG/surroundings a little distracting - and I like the RHS in 2nd as it gives environment/context as well as a defined side

Thanks guys.
My thoughts on the 1st one was to catch the wolf spiders face in his world and get a different perspective.

Markulous what is RHS?

I liked the leaves on the right--just didn't like the white in the upper right. Maybe take that out and let the spider and green stand out

the first pic is a little cluttered. legs + twigs. The second shot is much cleaner and nicely composed. The diagonal web slices up the frame nicely and the spider looks dramatic, cliffhanging to the leaf.
