This was using my trusty Sony point-&-press. The draw-back is a flash close to the lens, so anything 'macro' has its challenges. I've posted this because I rather liked the effect that resulted from using a hand held silver-foil reflector, in highlighting the hairs on the legs.

I like your effects here too. Very nice details. He seems suspended in mid air. I don't study spiders much, but I've never seen one this color. Love the highlighted web.

I agree it is one of your best John. 10/10. The detail in the web and spider are both great.

A bit morbid, for those who are afraid of spiders, but as a photo it's great.
