Wow nice job, I really like this. I LOVE THE SPIDER, how pretty. The web all around him makes a great feel to it!!! Cheryl #8350

Would you please send your spider to teach my spiders how to make a round web! Mine never make a pretty one like this..Must be retarded spiders around here.. #12803

This is wonderful, Brian! The spider and web are focused really nicely, and the composition and lighting are great. For the record, how big of a spider is this? #12826

Brian, what a wonderful picture. Don't usually like spiders, but I do like the web this one has made. Nice work.

Carolyn, you make me laugh. #12853

Really neat and great! You've shown us how delicate work the web weaving is along with the colors of Spider and his web. The round joints are so visible. I always would wonder and think how I can get a picture of spider and web. Thanks for mentioning detail of exposure. BTW, did you get that green spider from a pet store or what??? #12874

Yeah, that's funny, Carolyn! This little guy was about a half inch long, including the legs and he had made a nice web next to our front porch in a triangle between the railing and wall of the house. He is lit from underneath by the early morning sunlight, because he was hanging underneath the web (I rotated the picture 90° CCW). Background is a nearby evergreen.
Thanks for all the comments. #12892
