Warning Spider, Oops to late! ;P

Late arvo with the sun just peaking through a small hole in the trees onto this Golden orb spider. He didn't like me being there.

Small amount of dodge on spider back and legs

I'd think this was a little more exciting if the whole web was in focus, and you could've worked a bit on the highlights as the spider looks a bit overexposed. A nice image overall though.

Focus is on the spider and less on the web linings. Blue color at the back enhance the interest of the viewer. National Geographic look out. Thanks.

Good use of aperture to blur the background, but it seems like the left side of the web is more in focus than the spider.
