Hello Alan
I like this image, not only is the detail and colour excellent, but the composition and format make it a cracker.
Best wishes
Phil

Simply a brilliant shot Alan, the back lighting & colour & the way its framed is awesome

I thinks this works really,especially with your chosen composition.
I like the slight translucent effect on the spiders legs.
Well taken.

nice composition and its nice to see a spider (not many spiders posted from my recollection). Its getting to that time of year that the dew on the spider web in early morning gets just right with a low sun.

Cracking shot all round Alan,

Creepy crawly shots don't normally do much for me, but this one hits the spot very nicely
