I took this picture in my back garden, my son Danny found it in the hedge, he enticed it to the front of its web with a little twig. I couldn't have asked it to pose any better if I tried.

Spiders are not MY thing! But it is a great shot!

Nice pic, a bit glary. I strongly suspect that this is a ground dwelling spider that has been placed on some other spiders web, but I wont hold that against you.

Great focus on her face. A bit more depth of field would have been nice.

Nice detail, but lighting is somewhat harsh.

You captured the spider with a nice forward closeup of a subject hard to capture in macro because of their gangly legs. One of the best this week.

scary

You've captured lots of detail in this closeup though maybe the image could benefit from a little more DOF. Lighting is good, maybe just a tad too bright on the right. The bright green background is a bit distracting as well.

This is my absolute favourite photo, even though I'm not keen on those creepy crawly things, I am very impressed with this one. Well done Darren keep up the good work.

nice macro!

EEK! I admit I could only give it a quick glance but I think it looked okay. :/

Great macro! Looks like it would leap right out of the photo. The green in the back gives it a hint of "in the garden"

very nice photo. I would have opened the lense a bit more to get more spider in focus with the blurry background. But very nice :)
