Really nice use of fill flash and I am impressed with the dof at 7.1.

Hey Connie,
A tough angle you got there and you got some really nice details at that shallow DOF! I do wish the flash had brought out a touch more details on the face.....but not always possible when back lit and keep it from looking falshed. What is really cool is all the web that you have managed to capture.....really adds to the overall scene!

Hey Connie, like the angled position of the spider, and nice details which shows off the cool hairs on the legs.
