I am an arachnophobic and can't usually click on these types of thumbnails. But the high key effect here compelled me to try it and I must honestly say that this is a great shot - even though I was only able to glance at it for about 1 second! #1449951

Tammy, Mette, Paul, Janet, Charlene, DAniel, Agnes, Cathy, Guy, Claudia, Stephanie, Joy, Rosemary, Daniel, Sanjay, Jessica, Susan, Donald, Sharon, Kerby, Lori, Michelle, Susana, Dado, Carolyn and Adilson....THANK YOU FOR THE SMILE OF YOUR POST TODAY!! Kerby...the spider always wins! They paralyze their prey so usually prey don't have much of a chance...except the time in the web before she gets there. Not fair for the fly...but Ms. Spider has to feed her young!

Dado...It certainly is fair! Especially considering you create very COOl images!

Thank you, Ms Oklahoma (Carolyn)....I appreciate the vote of confidence! #1450380
