Great detail, and it really lights up against the dark background. Very nice.

Thanks!
I was lucky to catch some golden hour light on a walk that evening.

Looks good.

I see these things all over the place this time of the year. They are so creepy, hanging from most everything that they can spin a web upon or from. The swollen abdomen is full of spiderlings I am assuming.

Looks great thanks to very well placed focus plane: Sharpness cover abdomen pattern, eyes, several legs and a thread in one shot (I suppose).

Getting a little closer would make it even more impressive.

Thank you, Troels.

It was a single shot, and agree that closer would have been even better!
