I caught this orchard spider building a web across our pond.  He had a single strand strung and seemed to be surveying his work.  All comments are greatly appreciated!  Ry

Ry, this is a great look at this spider, with excellent details in the spider and a very complementary background.  Hopefully you've now got a complete web in this location for further exploration.

IMHO a unique spider image.  Well taken.  Good colors.  My only suggestion would be to have tried to avoid the darker  green behind the spider, but a minor thing.  Thanks for sharing.
