A big and cute Jumping Spider in a leaf. He is so elegant and looks be an great warrior.

In this journey of macro photography: Seeing the amazing work of this guys =dalantech, ~Alliec, ~arczi79, Lord V. and others, studying and taking photos. I'm learning to admire and respect this little critters.

Until now, all my macro photos have been taken in my house and it's incredible discover an big little world in my garden.

Very impressive with a simple setup!
You've found a quite original species there that isn't photographed much, and you really get the impression he is scoping out a target - even though invertebrates faces are seldom full of expression.
The subject focus is spot on and the colours are very vibrant and complement each other.
It is well composed and I like that you have left a large part of the picture out of focus. The attention is drawn the attention to the spider but the viewer gets a good impression of the overall scene.

Only gripe - I would have hued out the blue out of focus area near the bottom to make it green.

Nice shot!
