Found this wonderful garden spider keeping warm while I was putting up Christmas lights outside. She agreed to pose for me on a hydrangea bush. I put her back with her egg sac after I was done.

ROFL @ the humour Doc. Wd on the HM. 1st time I've seen the Canon 180mm @ work. I've a Sigma 180mm and it's darn good. Now if only I can do this with it!

Great shot. I think it would be better the other way up, though

Good clarity and colors. The inverted position adds to an interesting take. (Not voting)

would have been even better if the subject wasnt upside down, still a great shot = 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the choice of upside down and at an angle. It causes this to look more dangerous. Great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/11/2009 08:42:34 PM
Wow, great job on this photo. I like the perspective, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/11/2009 07:29:58 PM
I think this would look better rotated 180 degrees.

My favourite!!! Just love the upside down view, the clarity and composition. Cute title too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
12/09/2009 08:47:23 AM
Wonderful shot! Nice and clear with great details! I personally would have rotated this so the spider wasn't standing on it's head, even if that was how it was shot. Just mho! Great job anyway! 8

The very shallow DOF seems too distractive here.
