Wow! This is amazing Stuart. Natural geometry, great lines, and tones. I would hate to run into the spider that constructed this though!

thanks eva and lucy - much appreciated. lucy - your comment made me think about the perception of scale here - i'm not sure one can really appreciate the scale (no references) - but this is about four or five yards across!

Excellent! What a great composition and perfect for this theme. I really like the b&w choice. And the title says it all. Great image.

Four or five yards across! Wow! I thought it was much smaller at first glance. I suppose the title should have given me a clue to the scale.  This is very very cool. And even better at large size. I am NOT a fan of spiders, but I think we can all agree that they create incredible structures with the finest of materials. Amazing, isn't it? I love the beautiful black and white tones, here. The contrast is excellent. This shot is wonderfully abstract - and beautifully realistic at the same time. Absolutely perfect in my opinion. Well done!

This spider must be a civil engineer. My roommate from college is. And she was always constructing bridges with toothpicks or Popsicle sticks, which had to take a certain "load" on them. She would love this!
