Waiting.
Maybe for pray, maybe for the sun to rise.

I found this spider on a very early morning (around 4 a.m.) sitting still on his plant. I don't know if spiders sleep, but this one looked like. The more likely reason would be that he is waiting for some sun warmth to evaporate the cool morning dew that stops him moving.
By the way, the rather rough texture on the plant and the spider either is not scanning noise; it is actually submillimetric dew drops covering the whole meadow around.

Interesting photo Petru. I like composition, light and colors. I like little dew on plant and spider. TFS

Hola Petru,
Muy buena foto de una de las maestras de la espera:las arañas. La iluminación y el fondo oscuro producen un clásico efecto nocturno, para mi muy agradable. Bien la aclaración de las gotas de rocío, al principio pensé en un escaneado.
Saludos

Fantastic shot. Those drops of shiny water look great. How did you manage the background pure black?
