Witaj Bob!
Nicely showed Garden Spider. It pleases me also net in whole splendour. Sharp picture and in natural colours.

Hello Bob,
I think it is important to photograph situations like this in back/ sidelight so the web comes out clearly visible, like here!
The drama of nature is well depicted, sharp fine details in a well composed presentation!
Greetings,

:-) OK-

Hi Bob,
This spider spun a beautiful web, no wonder it caught the fly. Great image with the sun shining on the web. Nice.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Bob.
Great image of this moment and using the sunlight to light the web. Great DOF for the web and spider to stand out against the background. Slightly soft, but then you did say you were handholding and I see a shutter of 1/60. Still you have caught good detail though of this moment.
