Our garden's being invaded by these critters at the moment. Naturally my kids & I welcome such an infestation, although my better half who gardens feels quite the opposite. Can't understand why.

Fantastic shot Des. I really like the side on angle of the shot. The DOF and background are great and I like the way the web blurs out behind the spider.
Top notch - how can you not love these
(EDIT - how does it look flipped 180 degrees?)

Beautiful imagery here Des - one of the best spider shots I've seen
I like the comp, light and BG - infact what's not to like - super shot...

yes, an excellent shot Des. I'd like to see this one a bit larger. It's not easy to take good spider images and they can be a bu*ger to compose well But this is spot on in all respects.

Thats nice, really like the lateral view.... might try to do something about the bright spot just to the left of the spider, but that is being very picky.

Agree with Phil on the bright spot ,but other than that hangs together real nice.
