Wow , look at the color of that jumper , and a fantastic camera angle ...

Beautifully photographed, good detail and color. Active space is pretty much spot on as well. Nice work Ironwood.

Cheers Mek.
This is a male Cosmophasis bitaeniata, also known as a "Green Ant Cosmophasis" because they have adapted to have the same smell as a Green Ant to help them raid the Green Ant nests of their larvae.
Here is a photo of the same spider taken just before the one in post #1, Here it is inside a Green Ant nest, taken from above it shows the clouds of the spider.

Thanks very much Isac.

Could you please explain what you mean about "active space". Helps me learn

[Isac]

Active space is the amount of area in the frame to which the subject would be looking or heading towards. Negative space is the area that is behind the subject usually where the subject has come from. Very important when the subject is an animal, person/s and any action where the subject would be moving through or across the image. The RULE OF THIRDS is usually a good starting point. Hope it helps.

Thanks Isac, I missed your comment until now sorry. That explains it well, much appreciated thanks.

Good timing on the capture.

Cheers Eaglem. He jumped just after I took the photo, I couldn't find him again after that.

Cheers Mark. They really are a pleasure alright. The spider population in my garden took a very big hit in cyclone Debbie, I am just starting to find the odd one here and there now. Hopefully they will get back to their previous numbers before too long.
