Wow. This is one of the best spider images I've ever seen. Your use and positioning of the reflector was well chosen. The detail and color are amazing, especially with a 3 second exposure. Great job.

Super details, colors and lighting on this one Will. That 105mm is a really sharp lens. I have been using mine for portrait and landscape work. Just a fine all around lens.
