We've had a good population of these gals recently.  Here's another shot full frame in Jean Lafitte NP last weekend.  There was a male in the web just out of frame above.

Hi Bill,

I like the composition with a fairly sharp spider. The tufts on the legs are very nice. F10 gave you enough dof while keeping the bg soft. Well donecrying..............................Jim

This is an excellent look at this spider, Bill.  Getting most of the spider sharp is a challenge that you've handled very well here.  The background is also great and really lets the details in the spider show.
