I don't know how long it has taken this little spider (no idea regarding ID) to spin this complicated web, but I was certainly impressed by the detail and delicate nature of its effort. My first attempt at focus stacking. I have several self criticisms, but would welcome others.
Canon 5DM3, Sigma macro 150 f2.8@3.2, 1/80s, ISO 640 on tripod, but with one finger on shutter (set at multi-H) and one hand on focus. PP: PSCC - 29 images converted to 1600px wide jpegs with a little LCE and PK sharpening added to each jpeg. Helicon 6 stacking set at M:B, R:4, S:2. The focus range is probably about 8 inches.

(Thanks for deciphering your acronyms.) You captured excellent detail in the web itself and I like that we can also see the spider - waiting for prey to appear. Some of the OOF background, particularly in the lower third of the frame, looks rather "smudgy" to me - possibly an artifact of the stacking process?
