I took these shots yesterday. I would love to get some feedback and if someone could ID them it would be great. Thanks so so much in advance. |

Nice subjects and backgrounds for both of those shots, gwendy. Sorry I can't help with the spider IDs. My only feedback woud be that the lighting in the first shot looks a bit harsh, but otherwise those are nice spider photos.

Sorry but when you ask for ID it would help to let others know at least what continent you live on. Specific location would be even better.

First one looks like some kind of Orb Weaver; there are several to choose from. I am no arachnid specialist by any means though so maybe you can use that as a jumping off point.
Dunno about the second one.

From the shape and colour(the yellow one) I'd guess it's a crab spider.

| Thanks for the comments. Sorry I didn't give the location-Penn Valley, California in the United States. |

Yellow one is definately a crab spider. They hide in flowers and then attack bees or other pollinators, no webs for these spriders. Not sure what the other one is. I'll look at some of my references and see.

Goldenrod Spider and an Orb weaver. The colors are not too good in the second picture, but I would guess and say Long Jawed Orb Weaver. (Had one in the boat with me today)
