Richard:
Welcome to NPN and to the macro gallery. Great post. I like the diagonal composition. The spider is nice and sharp and colorful. Good job getting the thread coming out of the web glands sharp. :toast:

I've tried shots similar to this - but never came away as successful as you have here. Well seen and captured - welcome to NPN

Nice composition and I like the colors and DOF. Maybe your copyright could be a little smaller?
