 When I saw the challenge, I thought I would look around on the flowers out front, and low and behold, I find this spider eating a fly. It turned out to be a better shot than I thought it would!

It's all over - and it almost looks peaceful.

Excellent capture - focus a bit 'soft' on the antagonists, but with minimal editing... 8

I think we need more magnification to make sense of the action here.

Too hard to see the insect/spider. More zoom/macro needed.

Very good colour and clarity, shame the bugs are so small.
