Sandy, nice composition, sharp where it needs to be. Interesting zigzag web decoration and patterns in the abdomen. Well done!

This must be one of the Agiopes because of the presence of a 'stabilement', zig-zag structure. I like the central position of the spider in combination with the zig-zag in the ulc. Nice colours in the background complementing those of the spider. Lots of detail on the body and front legs. Nice catch.

Excellent capture, Sandy. I like the comp with lots of web to go with the spider. Excellent dof management.

Very nice, Sandy.
I like the superb details and the bg a lot.
The web with stabilimentum recalls the one done by our common argiope bruennechi.

Lots of great element sto this Sandy. Nice BG colors, love that web, the spider really pops with the yellow abdomen and the zigzag webbing grabs even more attention and holds the interest. Well done.

Great details and dof here, Sandy. The heavy zig-zag coming in from the left makes a fine lead in to some fine details in the spider. All set against a fine background.
