Beautiful shot and a keeper! Love the detail and color. (I happen to be comfortable with spiders as well!) Love the contrast and the fact that the spider is almost translucent.
Huh?! I haven't been here yet? I love this one, you caught the whole situation perfectly. And those tiny grains of pollen add to the intricacy of the image. Gorgeous!
I'm in love with this photograph. I am a spider fanatic and love purple. If I saw this at a store I would buy it. The contrast of color is amazing. Wonderful photo.
