About the hardest one to expose properly, metallic green, white on black, but also one of the nicest.

I really like the 2nd image showing the overall spider with the white spot on the back in focus too. I grew up terrified of this one as a child. I always looked for the "white dot" because my mother said I could be sure it wasn't a black widow. (I thought every black spider was a black widow as a kid...heehee). Who would have thought I'd learn to love these little guys.

can you provide the Pertinent exif data. Trying to learn and that might be helpful for this newbie.
Thanks

#2 is my preference. Tough exposure test on this one: detail in the blacks or blow the detail in the white spot? I think you did right by #2. You might be able to adjust curves for the "shadow detail" I like these with that little bit of color. Haven't found one yet-- the ones I've seen are mostly dark....

This one showed up in my office last week which looks eerily similar. (My apologies for the quality but I'm a rank amateur in the macro dept.)

Your exposure & composition is decent enough. What is hurting your image is the lens flair caused by all of that white background. All macro-photographers have run across this situation.

Thank you very much for the tip. I knew I was going to have a problem - I'm not that fond of spiders & I had to keep on the paper to move him around (he was a lively one even though a ran him through the freezer, twice!); & I don't have any kind of softbox/diffuser yet so I was shooting with an on camera (580) flash. Again, thanks for your advice!Your exposure & composition is decent enough. What is hurting your image is the lens flair caused by all of that white background.
