Description

I was wondering in the garden with my camera when I spotted this little little fellow. I say little because he's not more the half a centimetre long. I took several pictures of him, and during the
afternoon I took some more interesting ones. So I decided to post a macro series called Aliens of our Gardens. This is the first one.

Cool macro Vasco!!
very strong light!! The left of the spider looks a bit blurred Trying a smaller aparture would help;)
And also full version is really better:)

Neat colours and a pretty good use of back light.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

What a colorful alien. Really good... looking forward to the other shots.
You'd have to go higher on the ISO to go any smaller with the aperture.

Sorry for being late! :p
Was away for a week... ;)

I find the angle good chosen.

I don't like one leg covering one eye (not easy to have the dude pose for you right)

Small parts are hurt from the strong light.

I like the alien :) I like the composition but I think the light is too strong to destroy some parts of spider like legs.
You can burn some shadow of the black needles to make them more sharp.
Your lens also give some chromatic abberation on the steel wire.
Next time try to use an ND filter to catch more details.
Good work anyway.
