[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A spider weaving her web. Shot taken at 2X magnification and with a macro flash, that is why the background is dark.

At 2X the DOF is very shallow so the back of her body is out of focus a little since the main focus area is the front.

This is a great photograph, all the detail in the right places. Your work on DOF is perfect.

Very good picture of this spider. You did indeed master the DOF problem very well. The ligt is perfect too.
Super job!

Hi Nikos, very nice capture. I would like to be pedantic for a moment and say that this is a male - you can tell by the shape of the palps. This is very like our Cyclosa conica although I don't know if you get the exact same species where you are, the genus might be worth checking. I have a side profile of this spider, I may post it soon. Very nice work.
