  1. Wow, this is an exceptional macro photo. I tried this many times, but always fail due to wind and the wrong focus. Amazingly sharp, in focus, and colorful. Promoted and added to this list:

    1. Thank you! The conditions were great today: no wind and the spider sat still all the time. It was a large one of this species! Posted 11 years ago
