 Found this little guy in a bush by my house. It's quite hard to expose a black spider against a black background but I think it turned out ok. We'll see how it does...

Love the spider's eyes and the bright green against the dark background.

Nice close up. They were fun when I was a grade schooler. I think he was stalking your camera.

Why do the spiders in my garden not look like that? Actually perhaps it's a good thing...

I like the menace in this image - the fact that you can't see all of him [or maybe my imagination is working overtime lol]

Nice jumper shot. I'm glad I came back through & decided to rate this higher than I had initially as it is a nice capture.

Great shot. Didn't that spider pounce?

Ewwww!!! Way too many eyeballs for my taste. And they're in focus, too (shudder). I hate to admit it but this is well done.

I love those eyes! Nice capture and great use of macro on this challenge

so cute! better watch out, that's a jumper...and he's eyeing you! The complementary green colors really make this work, but I wish its head din't blend in w/the background so much.

Good color contrast and focus.
It would be more interesting/appropriate if you had the stem (and the "beast") on a more diagonal orientation.
