Peek-a-boo

Un-cooperative Daddy Long Legs. Just came across her, and she kept hiding behind the pine cone (spider is a feminine noun in Spanish, so I always think of them as hers). And I did not have the right kind of lens nor a tripod, but liked the results anyway, so here it is.

Konica Hexanon 57mm f/1.4, Sony A7, 1/80s, ISO 800, handheld, Capture One. Better large.

Alberto, I think I'd call that smart, enlightened, hiding from a giant pointing something pokey at me...  I was enjoying the textures in the cones and those "flying" branches when I finally noticed the legs.  That got me grinning broadly.  A fun and good looking capture enhanced well by all the warm browns in the background.
