ID wanted if possible
Hi all :wavey:
Heres one from yeterday, started off on dragonflies but none would play properly! Then found some fungi with this little beastie on it so amused myself with it. Spiders are not an area I know a lot about so any help on ID would be appreciated cant find anything on the internet.
Usual macro techs for me - I would have liked to focus stack it but it would not keep still.
Many thanks in advance of any help - usual critique most welcome as well.

Hello Shaun, could be a female Pardosa amentata see

I've got some wolf spiders living on a rotting log in my garden. I was looking at them this morning, thinking I must have a go at photographing them.

A nice image, focus stacking would be nice, but they are quite difficult subjects, I must give it a try. :smile: :wink:

Nice one Shaun - I find it's often difficult to get good images of spiders.
