Jumping spider

I've been trying to get a half decent picture of one of these for some time, this is my best effort to date.

K7, sigma 105 macro with ringflash.

Good effort, it could do with a tighter crop

Thanks for your comments.

I agree it needs cropping more (already cropped somewhat), unfortunately when I tried it out it didn't appear as sharp which is probably due to camera shake or focus not being spot on. Your avatar picture inspires me to do better
