Picture taken in windy conditions of a spider (Araniella cucurbitina) molting.
I used a Canon 400D, 65 mm MP-E Canon macro lens, 1/200s, f5.0, ISO 400. Handheld, no flash. I found the original picture not very sharp (due to the wind, the probability to get anything a bit centered and focused was very low) and used therefore Google's picasa image editor to crop and sharpen the image.
