Colours and design on this spider is amazing. During the last shoot, I noticed this web, spider was hiding somewhere, then a fly decided to commit suicide and this beautiful spider came out from the grass. This is one with side view of the spider in action witg the fly. This is my first experiment with Aperture App and Fotor.

Very good capture of a beautiful orchard orb-weaver. I like the unimpeded view of the spider and the nice view of the web. Excellent capture of both detail and colors, Swathiraj. :toast:

Superb photo, Swathiraj :cool: - just enough web to make the eyes move along. The Spider pose also adds some dynamism to the frame
