Hola Martin:
Interesante compo. Me gusta esta araņa `por su forma y sus colores. Es muy rara tambičn la forma de su telaraņa. Una captura muy bien lograda, con una nitidez y profundidad adecuada.

Hello Martin,
This is a fine capture of a species of spider new to me. It is pretty sharp and well-composed and contrasts quite well against a difficult BG.
TFS,
Regards, Ivan
