Not as numerous at my local site this year and much harder to find. Th zigzag web extending from the bottom of the web is indicative of the Wasp spider web.

The zig-zag compliments the overall comp, well done.

The zigzag leads you in really well and a great subject. Just wonder whether taking a bit off the top and right would put the spider into the corner and add to the composition?

a very striking spider and a nicely composed shot. The highlights look a bit bright to me but otherwise a very nice shot.

Tony

A super subject expertly imaged with a nice clean bg (not an easy feat I know).

Excellent dof and detail.
