Joe, this is good so often images like this do not show any detail in the spider but you have detail but importantly I think this one has colour too. Composition is good and the dew droplets are also a nice feature. Hey let's see some more from you!!
being picky now but just maybe a little more light in those darks may enhance. (with the power of retrospect a little fill in flash can often be advantageous in circumstances such as these).

Nice how the web frames this spider. The background is nice as well.

Nice image. I like the way the spider is composed. Hard to believe it has woven such a large web. Nice details on the spider. I like the bottom strands of the web leading to the spider as well. Very well done.
