Hi Balan,

Welcome back. Nice orb weaver with 7 legs--she may have lost one leg to a bird or another spider. Your image has captured the abdomen color pattern well. I believe that you could have stopped down for more depth of field, but I would only do so if that nice background remained nice and soft.

Excellent view of the spiders abdomen and the 'zig-zag' web Balan, nice contrasting BG too.
Great details, well done & enjoy your weekend!

Fine look at this spider, Balan. The zig-zags in the web show nicely. Sometimes it's good to get away (or for me, slow down), welcome back.

Nice action there, Balan ! Wonder if it was possible to stop down a little more for DOF.
