Here's a photo of a jumping spider. He was quite active, always looking straight at the camera as I moved around taking photos at different angles.
I quite like the surrounding complementary colours of the spider's environment which contrast with the neutral colours of the spider itself.

In this shot, I was going for an environmental portrait of a spider. So my question is, do the colours visually overwhelm the spider? Should I try to crop a little tighter to bring more focus to the spider.
