Hi, thanks for the comments. It's really a cute spider. The "Pringles can" face on it's abdomen resembles a human face to scare away predator, I guess.

Originally posted by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club! Great capture of a very intriguing-looking spider, I don't know if they regrow their legs but it looks like that's what this one is trying to do. The 'Pringles can man' on the backside is hilarious, it does resemble him. Definitely fits in the grab-bag that makes up Free Study entries. I'm afraid, though, that the fact that it's a spider may have caused some voters to let their own dislike sway their vote. Still, a very well-seen shot and keep up the good work! Susan

Hi Susan,
As a macro and spider enthusiast that is the love/hate relation I have with spider myself, I understand you perfectly. To add-on, I do not know if the spider got the back design first or 'Pringles', they have to sort out the IP thingy...
On a more serious note, really thankful for you comments and insight, I am sure they will be very useful and valuable to me. Will do my best and kept in mind what you said. Thanks once again.

Your's Sincerely,

Amber khim

This is Bark horned mantis. It's a cool model, loved the earth toned color. Thank you,Mary, for your likes.

Hi Susan,

Thank you for this critique. It's very helpful as it will help in my overall improvement.Thanks again.

Originally posted by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club! What a location, and yes it does look like a dream spot for sure...and the hunky guy's presence doesn't hurt either :-) Great depth of field to show off that spectacular scenery and the lighting is perfect for catching all those wonderful tropical-destination blues and greens. Some bleachiness in the clouds, always a pet peeve of mine, but not enough to be a huge distraction. So why didn't this image do better? I think the composition needs improvement. Shooting down at your focal point, the man, almost seems to downplay his role in the pic. I feel that he is competing with the scenery, not being complemented by it. A lower angle may have brought him into more prominence without losing the rest of the scene. And strictly fwiw I would have cropped the image more, either as a square and done away with the second body of water to the right, or cropped out the top third and got rid of the majority of the sky. Especially as landscapes are popular FS subjects, we see an awful lot of them here, so you really need a stunning one to do well in FS. Hope this critique has been of help, feel free to PM me with any comments or questions. Susan
