Hanging 2

After my last post I thought my resident spider had disappeared, but apparently he just holed up.

This is a shot lit only by flash, but at a low angle that actually brings part of the building in as the BG. (The spider is actually maybe 10 inches from the white BG, but it doesn't look like it to me.) I actually kind of like how it turned out with the white and shadows.

Thanks for looking...

This would look great in 3D. Have you got the glasses yet?
