Thank you, Melissa, Sinisa and Eric.

@Eric - I used ordinary 50mm with full Kenko Extension tube set. The spider was about 5 cm away from the end of the lens.

Thanks, David.

HELP! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ENTERED TO DETAILS/MACRO CATEGORY. There's no special effect in this photo. I must have made a mistake in my selection of category.

Thanks.

Thanks Carolyn, Eileen and Debbie.

@Debbie - If I will delete this, your beautiful comments will vanish and I don't want that to happen. I already sent an SOS message. I hope they will move this to the proper category. I'll be careful next time.
