Looking at the zigzag of white silk in the web and looking at the legs and abdoman, I would say its a Wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) . Here you can find some more information if you like.
Its certainly a good shot, with enough detail but a shot from the other side would have been great I think.

Good details with a well contrasting BG Scott.
Well composed slightly off-center also. I did a workshop. Well done & Thank You!

  • Great
