Ran into this cute little fella out in the woods~ almost literally ran into him! Yes, I used the zoom. Although not aggressive, I hear these guys have quite a nasty bite. They call them Banana Spiders here but I don't know if that's their real name.
Very beautiful shot except I might have opted for an offset rather than centering the subject. Doug "snapshooter87" is the Caedes expert on composition; so I'll defer to him. Wonderful clarity and detail considering that you resorted to your zoom at a distance of half a mile. You are such a wuss.
By the way, they're called banana spiders because they taste like bananas. Using chopsticks and a jar of Hershey's syrup, I oftentimes go spidering much as some people go mushrooming.
Love the colors, the detail and the perfect DoF. Also looks like the spider is hooked on hallucinogens. Pretty weird lookin' web.
Very nice shot with Halloween just around the corner.
