Good close-up. The diagonal positioning of the spider works very well.

Good shot. Even the eyes are very well visible. Nice sharp shot.

Very envious Tony - we don't have these (as far as I know!) up here in Cheshire.

Cracking subject nicely photographed.

Nice one, I prefer it without the grass at the top though... in my opinion anyways, see you soon.

Still fussy then Phil!

You've been out taking photos Tony! I'm telling......

very nice Tony, and a very striking spider. I've never seen one of these in the Midlands.
