Although its web was damaged, this spider (probably Metellina segmentata) was still "on-line". Comments are welcome.

Nikon D80 with Sigma 150 mm macro f 2.8, iso 200, f8, 1/30 sec from tripod.

Thanks for viewing.

Lovely light. Like the translucent legs of the spider. A lovely BG to go with...

Very nice Sandra - the simple composition is quite pleasing and only further enhanced by the nice warm light. Bravo!

Very nice Sandra.
Details look good as well as the nice soft lighting. The background really brings out the spider and web.

Wonderful artistic image Sandra..
I like the BG gradation & stem arching into the frame.
Great detail and light, the translucent quality of the spiders legs is fantastic

Happy Holidays!
