Thank you Sarah. I never hated spiders but did have an irrational fear of them before I started shooting macro. Through photography I learned my fears were unfounded and like all things in nature, spiders have their place.

I love that this was taken with ambient light. I think artificial lighting wouldn't have been nearly as pleasing to view. Excellent shot!

Hi Tim - No doubt about it macro takes patience and lots of practice. Every now and then the efforts pay off and one captures a nice shot. Thank you for the comments.

Hi Tyler - I too like ambient light macro photography. If I had my way I would shoot it exclusively. That said, conditions in the field, light and more often slight breezes, necessitate the use of diffused flash to capture the subject in a pleasing frame. Thank you for your comments.
