It's...it's.....very scary. But as long as it's in the photo I am okay.
Why is it so smudgy? The focalization could have been better but still it's beautiful. (I hope you don't mind me saying this. )

I don't mind you saying it at all! Because you are correct! That particular spider is less than 1/4 inch long, Probably less than 5mm ... VERY tiny. The macro lens set I have right now is not the highest quality, and the +10, which I used for this, tends to creat a bit of "softness" in any photo I use it on (much like a "soft focus" filter would). Also, because I was within about 5 to 6cm, the focal length was greatly reduced as well. I am hoping to be able to afford a new set of macro lenses this year. Then again, maybe I should just save up for a better camera as well as better lenses!

I really do appreciate your comment and criticism on any of my photos. Just don't be too cruel ...

Wow...that's a very tiny and very scary spider. I am sorry , really, I did not wanted to be cruel. And I really do like it and just tought it would be better that way but is still very beautiful. Well...if you had shown me that spider in real life, than I wouldn't think so but it is beautiful and you captured it very well. The patience and the skill for catching the perfect moment... you have that! And that is talent my friend.

And I also have a photo with a spider: [link] but it's smaller then yours. I wouldn't have the guts to be near that spider.
