The wide poser

ID: Jumping spider(Telamonia dimidiata male)

Spotted this huge beauty on a banana plant along the Nagla trail. The size of this beauty amazed me and it seemed less bothered, initially, and kept itself grounded onto the leaf with its front legs opened up as wide as it could. At almost an inch wide, it had an interesting charisma and made me watch/observe it for quite a long time until heading off to the underside of the leaf and disappearing

Liked the low angle. Good details in the eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Bulls eye. :) From this angle the eye has come out well. Unfortunately in macro, even at f16 we don't get good depth of field and the fore legs are out of focus. From this angle, it is simply impossible. From a higher angle, other parts of the body would have come into focus along with the legs but the eye would have not been as prominent as it is here. You need to keep on moving around at try different angles. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
