@kairospix: Thanks Kairospix! It was really noisy so I smoothed it off in photoshop as much as I could but this was the best I could do.

I think I've never seen a more beautiful spider shot. It's reduced to the essentials: the spider and its cobweb. There's no disctracting background. The composition is very good, too.

Very impressive. A perfect example about how to use the macro.

impressive spider. I like the disparate pieces of web and the pattern on the spiders back. B&W is a great choice here.

Really a great graphic statement. Fab job on the processing especially! This would make a great poster.
