    Hi Theo,

    A lovely graphic image, the long focal length really works to flatten the subject. Very nice but I can't help wonder whether the spider survived!

    Thank you Barney! The spider had chosen a good place to hide and it survived at least the afternoon and evening that I was around ;-)

    Wow, what a great shot! I love the composition and that the blue color is the only bright one. :-)
