[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In front of my office, arriving in the morning, I spotted the web. The time I set my camera, a ant went into the web. The spider went out the tunnel, attacked the ant, brought it back to the tunnel and took the pose for the picture.

I guess it's a Agelena Labrynthica but I'm not sure at all. This picture was inspired by Pedro Correia.

This is one of my first decent picture in macro.
Work in PS: crop, light level, unsharp mask on the spider, contrast.

Very good photo. Crisp and clear. I pity the poor insect caught in the web.

Great shot.
I like your composition. The DOF is great I like it.
The perspective in the web draws my eye to the spider.
Thanks
:)

Excellent close-up, Jean Loup!
I really like the composition. The sharpness, colour, and details are great.
TFS!
