The peeper in the leaves...

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Jumping spider

Spotted this beauty getting into the protection of the leaves while I approached close to it for framing it. The beauty almost behaved like a 'curious kid peeping thru the blinds at the stranger'. To get face to face with the beauty I had to get really low and almost parallel to it, which lead to accidentally allowing the pink flower in the background to intrude into the frame and though it was completely out of focus probably the flash light reflected off it and the bokeh made ti a huge blob of pink(My guess)

EXIF:

I think the focus is slightly ahead of the spider. It would have been good if the flash would not have fallen on the leaf at the top as that takes away our attention. The pink in the background looks a bit funny. This shows how even small variables can influence an image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
