Hereby my entry for the Nine Swords Nature Shots Competition, Heropsis in their natural environment. See how at ease I, the photographer, made the spider guardian capturing this wonderful teeth filled grin.

I absolutely love this one. Creepy but somehow cute too.

Considering it isn't pretty or scary I guess this is going to bat for the funny category.

Beware of Spoiler!   

Getting 'action' shots in SWL is a nightmare for me

Pride Goeth Before The Fall: a pictorial essay in three steps of the journey of heroes or, the strongest light sometimes becomes the darkest shadow.

1. The Hero's Journey to Abaddon:
Lured by prophetic dreams, the hero travels far, and comes to a dark land.

2. The Apex of Heroics:
Bolstered by the gods' power, the hero stands for the Light, and wins a momentary safe space for an embattled land.

3. The Long Fall:
Heroics done, mission done, light secured, the hero falls into darkness, and darkness finds him, corrupting once-great flesh into a twisted mockery.

Since I noticed the deadline (well, the whole contest really) so late... blast from the past (thumbs up)?

You can now vote on who you think deserves to win the best capture category
My first time making polls like this. It seems I can only have one at a time
