Good colour and insteresting shapes. To me the area that is in focus isn't crisp enough. A slightly deeper DOF would help with this.

It's a rain spider, here is a picture of the entire spider I took using the regular macro function on my camera.

The reversed lens macro setup has fixed focus close to the front the the lens (back element of the reversed lens), so the lens is very much in the face of your subject.

It's about the size of the palm of your hand, so you would a large number of them.

Yowsers, so crisp. Perhaps a front on perspective would have made more an impact. Apart from that, brilliant.
