This pin-sharp photo freezes the dramatic moment when a spider catches a fish

A large spider is seen on a wet, dark brown rock, holding a small, metallic green and yellow fish in its fangs, with the fish's reflection visible in the water below.

Sometimes the best shots happen when your subject takes matters out of your hands. One photographer discovered this truth first-hand while photographing a fishing spider at the water's edge in Kollur, Karnataka, in the south-west of India.

Kashyap Naresh Raval had set up his Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III with one thing in mind, but the spider had other ideas. "I was planning to just shoot a portrait," he explains, "but during the setup, the spider dashed away into water, then got back the fish! Had I known this was going to happen, I might still have failed to get the action shot."
