Stacking insects can get a bit tricky compared with flowers. You can see on this one I didn't quite make it with the rear of the body. This is just movement so you have to discard a frame or two and take what you can get . Done in a large glass aquarium. Good to see how stacking has taken off on here again. More people should try it.

Hi John, Interesting subject with what I guess is an egg sac. The stacking seems to have worked reasonably well. I know it must be tough to do on insects. I've never tried it as most of my shooting is done in the field usually with some wind to deal with.
Very interesting composition with the round body of the spider, the round egg sack and then all those web strands going off every which way! I like a solid bkgd to highlight all the details, especially those of the web, but this brilliant green is maybe a bit over the top.
An interesting shot with very nice lighting on the spider and egg sack. The stacking worked pretty well under the circumstances. I agree with Jon and Nancy about the background. You might try selectively reducing the saturation of the greens so the green doesn't overpower the rest of the image.
