Lady Lidia has been living in Pops enchanted garden for the past year. She is an early riser and starts her morning walks through the palm leaves around 7:00 a.m.
Lady Lidia was gracious to stop for a pose. She was painted with a Nikon D70s, using a Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D macro lens.

Hi Gus,
As always, I am enjoying your macro work! I think I agree with Lance about the front legs - I kind of feel that the depth of field should either be even narrower so that the surroundings are really blurred, or not quite so deep so that the front of the spider is in focus.
Regards,
Nicki
Hi Gus. How's the vacation going? The OOF legs don't bother me; however, the light green rib down the center of the leaf keeps catching my eye. Great COMP. I love your work.......
Hi Gus, you always come up with unusual views with your macro images and this is no exception. I agree about the oof legs but understand from Alfred's comment that would have been almost impossible to do. Thanks for posting!
