Nice photo and those colours.
How do you like the AF160, I've played with a demo model at photokina.
It comes in his own case with adapters and things like that, it looks like a wonderfull piece of kit but the price is just a bit too high for me.

Nice shot Peter and interesting subject. Great example of the perfectly camouflaged predator.

Totana,
Spain.
These crab spiders grab their prey as it passes or lands on the flower. Note the front 2 pairs of legs aren't touching the flower, just hanging in the air primed and ready. He's attached to the flower with his shorter rear 2 pairs of legs. His body length including head and abdomen is about 1 cm.
The plant is known in Spain as Lantana. The flowers change colour from yellow to red, then to a salmon pink before dropping off.
K20D, SMCP-FA 100mm Macro, AF160FC flash (full right, 1/3rd left), 1/125th, f22, ISO800 (dunno why :roll. PP'd in Lightroom 2.3. Image is rotated 180 degrees, he's underneath the flower.
