So I was feeling kind of left out not having posted any cools macros of various bugs so I went on a scavenger hunt and after coming up empty for most of the day I found this guy and of course he was on the underside of the web so I layed on my back and came up with this. I think Andy's very cool spider moved to my neck of the woods. My conclusion is I'll stick to dog pictures:rofl

    I dunno about that, Eric, I think it looks very cool, like it's a water droplet. I say keep on shooting macros.

    I like it - well done. It has an almost "metallic" feel to it.

    One of the hardest things with Macro is actually finding the Subject in the first placerolleyes1.gif this is my biggest stumbling block, the lack of things to shoot.

    I like the angle you shot this Spider on, and the fact that you got the web in with it's water droplets as well.......you did good :D

    I was going to make some wise crack about more macros less doggies.
    But then I thought :uhoh 'cause I'd miss the doggies iloveyou.gif

    I can't have one so this is the next best thing.
