What a gorgeous shot all rich in angles and design. I really like the vantage of capturing this tiny little beauty and your placement of your subject withIn the frame. Great selective focus. I love the beauty of those nature soft tones behind the web. You can almost see the rays of light diagonally moving through the frame with the darker toned impressions. Webs are so amazing. Love the flow from the upper framed corner toward us.

Love the orb spiders.
Good composition with the web leading the eye to the spider.
As this is a spider with a lot of detail, would suggest zooming in on the spider by heavy crops on the top and the left as our friend is almost lost in the image.

Unusual and cool.Great colors.You had a tough decision; I'll bet; deciding whether to show the spider bigger or keeping the fantastic details of the web. Was the brown ththe true background? Just curious.

    You are right there. I decided the web needed to be here to show off the smallness of the spider. the brown is the true background. Was a building in the background.

Cool capture of this guy. I like the composition with only the bottom quarter of the web visible. Nice sharp focus and nice clean blurred background. Good work and good luck.
