Spider

One from my archives. Made this image couple of years back by stacking up around 8 or 10 frames for DOF. This spider was sitting still on a plant in my balcony.

Equipment:
Nikon D300 with Nikkor 105mm macro on a tripod (obviously :razz: )

Comments, views most welcome.

Appears to be well done. Good composition and lighting and a nice neutral background. A larger image would be helpful for critiquing. :smile:

This spider has are fine glow from the back lighting. The sharpness both in the spider and the plant leaf is great.
