I agree with you - the other was an attempt to play with perspective but the head isn't as clear and, as you say, the shadow actually distracts. This one is my first spider macro where you can see all the eyes (and, almost, its fangs). While I was photographing, it started to clean one leg - pushed the end underneath its body, clamped those fangs around it and pulled the leg back through them. Not something I'd seen before!

I've not seen that up close either, I've seen it with the naked eye, but not through a lens for good magnification.
