This title will force Rick L to look if he is still around

Happened upon this little guy while I was moving into position to shoot a trillium. This was along old Hwy 30 in the Gorge this morning...

Ned the colors are spectacular, and I might mention that is one seriously long leg on that spider!!!

maybe thats how they do their morning stretches!!!!

wonderful color Ned. and great detail on the spider. could use more DOF IMHO, but that's a minor nit.

The spider is razor sharp and that really adds to a very nicely composed and colorful image. The outstretched leg is an add point of interest.

Great composition, Ned. That little guy posed perfectly for you.

Thanks for the comments... I shot her at f/11 too, but opted for a more blurred background with f/8

Yeah, Rick won't be liking you much after getting him to look at that spider, LOL. I can just see him now getting the "heebee jeebees"

Cool shot BTW.

I forced Rick into looking at this.....

Yeah...Ned...I owe you buddy! On top of this...he had Arachnaphobia playing for me in today. What did I do to deserve that?
