Great macro works, thanks
Truly top class. What an awesome lens the 60mm macro is!
Great focus. I know how difficult macro shots are, specially of insects as they rarely stay still for long. Since this spider was in the process of hatching it must have been less mobile. This is one of the very best macros I have seen in a long time and certainly very unique. This image is in the league of Animal planet / Natgeo et al.
First time I have ever seen a spider hatching. Good detail. Congrats on POTD!
This is a very good shot; you have the focus just right. Mother spiders carrying their young in their jaws is a common sight in the summer but not one we notice very often. Each of those little round eggs will produce a really tiny, fully formed version of the mother. Spider technology is awesome, the pholcus in our bathroom play complicated courting rhythms to each other, have their own social boundaries, can see and balance on invisible threads that are for their weight stronger than steel, and despite being spindly and not easily noticed they carry the most powerful venom in the spider world. Fortunately they can’t bite through human skin; but of they ever mutate….
That is a wonderfull macro shot. Great work balance of colors and focus. Nice indeed.
Earth shot indeed! Quite impressive!
Thanks, Pauline, for the Nature lesson on spiders, great info!
Excellant macro shot! Good POTD.
nice shot……..
great macro image. well composed and good detail and capture. well done.
Most excellent macro shot I have seen! Such fine detail caught throughout the whole subject. Very nice job and congrats on a well deserved POTD!
Wow! I’ll pay more attention to these spiders now and see if I catch a glimpse of one hatching. Great picture, Chris. And thanks to Pauline for the very interesting information.
omg, this really made me shiver, great shot congrats
Nice detail you captured there.
Very good eye! Congrats!
excellent focus!
This is a SUPERB PHOTOGRAPH! Very well-deserving of POTD, but moreover, this is in EVERYONE’S back YARD. WE MUST appreciate the life brimming beneath our feet, and be more mindful of that which is hidden, but teems with life, unseen and unnoticed by us all.
He blends right into the area.
Awesome macro shot
