Spider Against the Monbretia

There was lots of patches of Monbretia growing wild by the falls, so I got amongst them to take some photos of the flowers. Spotted this spider glowing against the orange. Hand held, manual focus, as I couldn't get my tripod in the undergrowth

Fantastic shot, and extra points for getting that close to the spider.

Great details. What a find! Fav

[Kenabeek Mike]

Fantastic lighting and focus, and the background colour really complements the yellow in this species of spider while giving plenty of contrast to make it still stand out from the background. Love it!

Outstanding! Especially against that brilliant background.

There is a guy at my local club who keeps spiders as pets and makes extreme close ups of their faces, spinnerettes and other body parts. I like your whole body wild spider better.

Brilliant macro, especially for hand-held. Fav

Gives me the creepy crawlies, but that detail and the blurry background...stunning.
