First Encounter With Jumping Spider

Sharing a few shots of the jumping spider. A lot of things were not done right in this series. Flash too harsh, shadow, white balance inconsistent. All critique are welcome.

Appreciate your self-critique, but good moment captured nevertheless.

Whats your settings? your grasshopper shot has a good flash exposure, so was there difference in these series?

I still like the series. Dont see any problem with it. =)

Thanks.

Yes. The flash mode is different. All my shots were taken in TTL but this spider was taken in TTL-Balance. Before seeing this spider I was playing with my flash and forget to set it back to TTL. That is to say all my flash compensation I have set was counter compensated by the flash.

not a bad series ...
but thought i feel the colours a bit too rich
just my two cents ...
wonder if that's an ant mimicking spider its eating or not? ...

Quite agree with Jayson_Ang, colours being too rich. Not natural. Nice catch, though. #2 is still the best.

Jayson_Ang & Qazwer, I agree with the color comment, but I did not add any saturation in my post processing. The in-camera saturation was set to high, and may be the customize curve I use in the camera. Will take note of that.
