•  Info Telamonia dimidiata male. C/U/N: Jkadavoor -- Jee 04:20, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support -- It was very difficult to focus on this small (9mm long) and curious spider hiding under the banana leaf. It was restless and so curious; tried every moment to jump over my camera/lens. Jee 04:20, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support - Excellent! Great detail, striking-looking spider. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:20, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

• Any option to go this diagonal ? Its same compo like frog. --Mile (talk) 09:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

• Here the composition is very tight and I've no room for any attempt to straighten, if that you meant. The subject is always looking at the camera and turns again whenever I move. Jee 09:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

• I would also look if some round glass thing with dark material around it, the size of a house came down over me! --cart-Talk 11:15, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment Nice picture (perhaps need tone adjusted?), but perhaps this one @Vengolis: is better? Charles (talk) 10:47, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

• Charles, this is underside of banana leaf, having this color. Vengolis is my friend; I'll not compare on his works! Jee 11:04, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Spider yuk! Photo great. :) --cart-Talk 11:15, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Jee, the shadow here is nice and soft (vs this). Did you use flash and/or diffuser? The tone is a little more yellow/warm than the other photo (which possibly is too "cold flash white" coloured). I don't know which is accurate of course, but you might want to experiment with the colour balance a little to see if you prefer a less warm tone. But don't make it as cold as the other one, and if you think this is accurate then fine. -- Colin (talk) 12:51, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

• Colin: Yes; here the diffuser worked very well at ISO 250. I took many similar picture later. I used in Periyar National Park too though it's a bit difficult to use in such expedition. The underside of banana leaf is quite yellow. I usually and hope here too reduced the kelvin to 5400K. I'll check it again and get back. Jee 13:06, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
• Oops; it was 5500K. I reduced it to 5400K. Colin and Charles, please check whether it is better? Jee 13:24, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:03, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I think this is as good as it's gonna get. Daniel Case (talk) 04:06, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I also find the pictures under too much cut out, but despite that FP.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:58, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

• Yes; Famberhorst, I'm well aware of it. But as I replied to mile above, it was just happened originally when I photographed it. It is very difficult to check all sides of the frame in EVF when we stretched over to get the subject in the frame from above or under. So I too think "this is as good as it's gonna get." as Daniel commented above. Jee 01:35, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
