Ready to pounce

I've not been around lately, but finally got a chance for a wonder around the nature reserve, and got some macro shooting in too...

70-200, kenko 1.4xtc, Raynox DCR250. f/14, 1/200, ISO1600, 135mm (approx 1.2x life size ish).



Not sure about the webs... I thought I liked them at first.. what do you think, should I clean them up ?

Lovely shot. Guessing it was not very bright as ISO1600?

I would tidy webs in this instance as its a broken Web and is distracting.

I would be in agreement with Bryn. Nice shot, decent considering ISO 1600 but the webs are distracting.

Super, I really like this shot and the way it falls out of the corner.

Thanks all, Bryn, it was a bright day, but this leaf and the spider were under shadow.

Here's a 'cleaned' version without the webs

John yes I like the shots composition - before & after are fine with me as I avoid too much cloning as it can make some shots appear unnatural - but your after one is just as excellent as the original

Thanks daydreamer. I know what you mean about cloning, I tend to agree with you and avoid it as much as possible, in not very good at it .
