Spider Portrait

[Arun Acharjee]

This Peucetia sp. lynx spider is one of my favorite ones because of its brilliant coloration and shape that make them easily camouflaged among green leaves. Generally, as I found, they choose end of twigs to sit and wait for prey. This shot is made in Mohanpur River Research Institute, Nadia dist, West Bengal.

Nice image. Good details. Did you try using a narrower aperture? Wish it was a bit closer. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. I like the angle, and colour scheme and the contrasting shades here.

Thank you for your suggestion. Actually I tried to give emphasis on its eyes, so the aperture was.

Thank you Mr. Abhishek.

This one looks lovely. The angle is good. I feel the colour saturation is on the higher side. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sabyasachi da. Yes, I kept the vibrance of the image and also the contrast at higher level than that of my other ones. To me it looks interesting. One thing I wish to say that I have no class or experience on professional photography. I found this site very interesting as images got their critic each and every time. This mite help members like me to improve. Thank you again for that.

Dear Arun,
Wildlife photography is a life long learning. Apart from the techniques, one needs to also understand the behaviour of each species. When I started photographing, there was no one to help me learn as people didn't want to share their secrets. So I have always tried to help out people with critiques. Due to the advent of internet, people easily proclaim themselves as experts and hence don't want to take critiques. The person who always tries to examine his/her images based on critiques improve over a period of time.

The benefit we get by giving critiques is we all also invariably visualise the situation and it leads to learning. We see the amazing biodiversity of our country through your eyes. And at times we see some nice behaviour and we learn too.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
