Some fantastic images. I particually like numbers 1 and 3. The crisp sharp focus on the eye in number 1 is amazing, and Im guessing to capture him/her/it in flight was more goodluck than good measure, yet it still makes a great shot. Number 4 actually shows how visious the spider could look if compariable with size. I normally only see them from above as they disappear under my size 16 shoe.
Nice shots and congrats on a good series

I love them all! These are the exact sorts of photos that I wish I could take, but in saying that I wish I had the time to practice and learn as well.
Great colours and accurate focus. Keep them coming!

I beg to differ. That flight shot and the first photo are stunners. Congratulations.

Wow!
That first one is absolutely captivating, and I think the diagonal line of the twig really makes this a spectacular image. I too am amazed by the in-flight photo. Thanks for sharing.
