Hi Phillip,

To me from my ID books which are fairly basic, this looks like the Four Spotted Orb Spider 'Araneus Quadratus' and a beauty it is too. The droplets on the web are superb.

Regards Chris.

No idea why not more people have "criticized" this image. I love it, especially the dew on the web!
