A fine breeze lifted this web..while keeping it still within the light diffraction ....the light faded and could not make more images...just a couple of them ...

Balan, the spot light and the breeze worked well for you.  The gentle arch of the web, some fine colors and a great look at the spider make for an outstanding image.  As you say, getting the light and position of the web just right comes and goes very quickly.

Balan, macro and wind are often enemies for me, but this is a good example of when the breeze is actually in your favor, for a change. I really like the streaking at the bottom, and good focus control on this little creature.

This is so beautiful. Shooting it in the same plane as the web worked well.

A great angle to photograph this spider and web, Balan.  Very unique and quite beautiful.
