One sharp spider, if it wasn't for that bit of silk just left of top center, it would look as though it was suspended in mid-air. :D

Indeed. But look close -- you can make out quite a few of the circular strands of the web, beneath the spider and especially between the left legs. They are just a little darker than the sky.

A very nice capture!

Really great shot Nikola. It is a beautiful spider and a very interesting angle :wink:

A difficult shot too, being back lit by such a bright sky. Exposure is spot on - did you use fill flash Nikola? Beautifully exposed to show colour and detail however you managed it.

Thanks guys! :D
No flash, Bruce. Just a little longer exposition and steady hand. :wink:
