Know Its Side Effects On Excessive Consumption</a></strong></p> <p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s such an imaginative way of photographing a spider. The picture is perfectly framed, the focus is spot on,&rdquo; said Roz Kidman Cox, Chair of the Jury.</p> <p>&ldquo;But the really clever bit is the addition of a creative backdrop &ndash; the bright colours of a motorised rickshaw,&rdquo; she added.</p> <p>&ldquo;You can actually see the little fangs if you blow up the picture. I love the way it's been framed and the way you can see all the texture of the web, its lattice structure,&rdquo; Cox told BBC News.</p> <p>Hebbar on his part recalled that &ldquo;it was challenging to focus the tent spider because the web shook every time a vehicle passed by&rdquo;.</p> <p><strong>CHECK OUT THE AWARD-WINNING IMAGE</strong>&nbsp;</p> <figure class="image"><img src="https://ift.tt/3mSYIY0" alt="Ten-year old Vidyun R Hebbar from India is our Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
