This little young orb spider (do they call them yearlings like horses?) was hunched in a little ball on a bit of the old cherry blossom tree stump in the front garden tonight - and you can see she probably landed there from nearby because you see where the web is with which she found her way there with (spiders are clever aren't they?)

Taken on the Venus lens at 2:1 mag, f/16, 1/200sec, ISO 100.

    Love the sharp eyes Paul! Like the shot and hope to score like this someday!
    I know you want the web in the shot, but I wish negative space was in front of it, instead of at its back. JMO!

    There's always this option, from, a minute or two earlier - slightly more to the right, but with a small crop to balance SB. How's this?

    The second image works better for me.

    I took a very brief look at your website. Perhaps you need to update your hardware list?
