Nice web, you really got my attention with the big spider. Great background brings it all together. This photo has it all.

Excellent, Sandy. Beautiful detail in the spider and a neat looking web.

Looks like a close relative of the Yellow and Black Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia), Sandy, with the details in the black parts being very different. This is a good look at this one with some nice colors in the background as well.
Further research suggests that it's most likely Argiopeappensa an introduced species.
