    Beautiful picture and sharp enough. But I would really like to see the web below the spider.

    Alfredo, I'm not sure what's in the BG on the right hand side but the stripe is really a distraction for me on this one. If it were more in focus or out of the photo altogether I think I'd like this better.

    The spider seems to be nicely in focus except for the web spinning part. I'm looking at your settings and you seem to have enough speed - it must be the macro setting that's got that a little less sharp.

    I'd also check your whites and see if they are blown at all. They seem to be lacking the detail of the rest of the image.

    You sure do get to see some unusual creatures in your parts!

    I would liked to have seen more of the web too, but you have captured lovely detail on the spider. Well done Alfredo.
