Two excellent and contrasting pictures of a stunning creature - a good use of half an hour. The second one is the scariest for me, others may think differently.
So was it camera > tube > 1.4 TC > lens, or camera > 1.4 TC > tube > lens? And does it make any difference?

The rendering of the second image is quite magical, thanks to the subdued tones and colours. Good job!

The second was a happy accident Steve. Busy following him through the viewfinder, forgot the position of the flash (on-camera) in relation to the image.
There was a branch on the log that excluded most of the light from the spider.
Thanks to Elements 11 to the rescue !
It was camera, 1.4x, 31mm tube, 100mm prime.
More formal testing required........
Thanks Sry.
I was quite pleased how the second turned out, as luck would have it......
Thanks to you both for looking & your kind remarks,
Roger.

Both excellent shots but the second one is the stand-out for me. The dark, shadowy world broken by those glistening eyes - superb

The 2nd one is just spot on,
Really suits the subject too.
Happy accident or not, it's a cracker.
