Glowing in the sun
This garden spider was glowing amber when the sun was shining through it yesterday. I've put it large in the frame because of the detail.

Very nice, maybe a tad too tight at the bottom but nothing major!

Hi David

Maybe a tad large in the frame but good lighting and wonderful detail as spiders are not an easy subject to do well!

I agree it's a little tight, but the detail is great, and the different colours reflected on the web are really great!

I also think it it is a bit too tight, but beyond that it is a very ncie picture. Lovely colours and sharp!

A powerful portrait David. Bags of detail and superb lighting.
