Out into my garden at dusk I saw this little drama taking place. The red and yellow of the beetle and the red and yellow of the flower gave me extra inspiration.
What a great opportunity to try out my new macro flash! A great chance to practice. I am happy with this shot. And, as always, welcome critique.

Taken with a Canon MT-24EX flash unit with diffusers on the heads.

Cool spider! Great catch to see this event and capture it with your camera. Do wish it was a little sharper and had more "pop" (contrast).

I know you didn't have much of a choice, but the white on white really hurts this photo. Great moment you captured here though - as Lord Tennyson said, "Nature, red in tooth and claw".
