One from yesterday.

I don't know the species but it has a long thin body and is quite large.

Saw it on a fen while looking for dragons.

300mm F/2.8 IS @ 600mm
ISO400
1/200 sec
F/8

Cheers to all

Do not know one spider from another but somehow like the picture...looks attractive and artistic to me.

A beautiful, well balanced image. Even people who don't like spiders would enjoy this one IMHO. I love the strands of silk.

Very interesting image :toast:
Spider itself looks a tad 'hot'.

A simplistic and most effective image/composition.Love the rim-lit greenery too. :toast:
