If a spider like this came into MY garden, I'd move house!

Hate them...but love the photo, great capture, well done.

The web is nicely caught and increases the quality of the image considerably.

Well cropped and framed.

Hello Paul!
Great colours on this one! The dark blue and the orange has great contrast. i like tyhe dark blue bd tones on the bg! framing, pov and frame you chose are wonderful!

btw, i like spiders a lot, this one is very interesting species.

Hello Paul,
Excellent shot. Great detail and exposure, great flash control. This Spider is an amazing colour, I've not seen one like this before. Composition and framing is excellent, and framed against the deep blue background is just perfect. Great shot.
Regards,
Adrian

wonderful macro-shot, paul! :-)
i like garden spiders - in the garden and in front of the lens. *g*
excellent composition and pov with some amazing details -
on the spider and how it is hanging in its web.
good colors, maybe just a bit too light, and a great dak bg
as a contrast, making the threads clearly visible.
well done & take care, thor.

Hello Paul,
Awesome colors on the spider and the background. I really liked the upside down composition. This is quite sharp photo and the DoF is well used. The boke is amazingly smooth. Very well done. Don't mind your wife. My wife don't like bugs either. Especially spiders :)

Greetings,
Ahmet
