wow .. excellent shot .. i think he's a lot smaller than the ones we have on the firetrail .. this guy must be from the smaller side of the family .. the one's i see around here are probably twice that size . :)

we have very similar spiders here .. i've only ever noticed them when i look thru the viewfinder with the 100mm lens tho !! ..
this is a brilliant photograph of such a small creature .. the hairs and those eyes and the intricacy of his little body .. nature/god/wotever is truly incredible ..
i use the same flash for a lot of my macro photographs now, but find that if i get too close then the camera shadow goes on the subject .. the bracket at the local camera shop didnt have enough 'play' to get the flash further enough away and at enough of an angle to correct that problem .. you must have the steadiest hand to get the focus correct tho, right on his eye .. excellent !!.. i get a heap of non-keepers because even with f10+ the focus is still shallow, relatively speaking that is .. i can see that its extremely shallow with your settings .. impossible to get more depth of field without a flash tho ..

LOL .. !!
you should patent this idea ..
i bet dentists would be pretty keen on something like this ..
instead of the ladders, toothbrushes .. maybe influence kids subconsciously to clean their teeth .. !!.. love your colours ... you have a wonderful and very creative imagination .. :)
