Description

Woke up and this beauty was at my kitchen window... went outside and caught the reflection of dawn + inside light on the windo behind her..

I called this Femme.. because she is out there laying an egg sac... preparing for her motherly duties

no real full version other than this... I cropped it from basicly full size.

thought I would add a link I made for kitty in comments...
this is a wider view of the same spider.. slightly diff angle and not as well focused.. will help explain the BG hehe

Kitty its not that there isnt a larger version.... I cropped this from the original size.... small spider and weak lense...

Ok just for kitty this is one that didnt have the right focus..

only one of them came out right..... took 6 altogether.. some were silloutted
some too bright.... some didnt have the web as visable that I wanted for the composition

another one that just turned out bad

I adjusted the settings as I took the pics.. and I could tell on the LCD that this one was what I wanted.

thanks square means alot.. (thumbup)

we started this together :) our conversations on composition were meaningful.. and seemingly helpful(atleast for me :))..judging by your scores hehe.. err not to mention reinman :p

If I could afford it I would buy you a new camera as good as mine.... I think it would pay off in the end :).. Ms. talented 3.2 mega pixel low end camera, perfect picture lady I hope you keep at it.. cause I am proud of ya!!!! :)


*Square dont tell anyone but I got lucky.....my house faces somewhat east.. and I have to get up early..not to mention I had a spider spinning a web right at that moment ...shhh.. anyone would have taken this pic*

:) Bas, sure, anyone would've taken that picture. But NOT everyone would've achieved the results you did. (oh, and it's a 2.1 megapixel POS camera for now).

Thanks for that offer...if you win the lottery I'm holding you to it! For now though, X-Mas is coming, so I'll only have this camera of mine for a little while longer.

I hope you're at least as proud of yourself as you are of me; your new camera has apparently opened your "EYE" for composition. (thumbup) Keep up the good work!

What "strange meetings" you make in your kitchen!!!

Very nice composition, colors and sharpness!

Very nice shot. I really like the color from the window, and I like your cropping and framing. Cheers.

I'm really proud of you, the hubban'
I'm afraid my sorry max +7 brings down your average.

You've really dived into this and, as it seems with everything you try, you've picked it up like a champ in a matter of weeks.
It just goes to prove again that anything you put your focus into, you succede at. You already knew that though ;)

Imagine what would happen if you focused on raking the leaves.....

The Orange and Dark colours contrast is superb! And even thought the spider is placed on the left, the picture is very well balanced.

Can I send this photo to my bf?? He's frightened of spiders...haha i'd like to freak him out

A wonderful photo wonderfully presented!

My hat is off to you! (good thing I'm not bald yet or I might turn you on! :) )

*edit* and looking at it again I just LOVE the long vertical composition - that makes this a stand out piece! Keep this one in your portfolio!
