I saw a lot of these in Cuba, I agree the weirdest spiders I ever saw.
If you touch their web, where they spend most of the time sitting in the middle, they spin around like mad.
I guess the spikes put the gecko's off eating them, and the giant (by UK standards) toads that came out at night.

A fountain (from the Latin "fons" or "fontis", a source or spring) is a piece of architecture which pours water into a basin or jets it into the air either to supply drinking water or for decorative or dramatic effect.

The focus is certainly on the leaf not the bug.

(5 years and 2724 days ago)

Busy Bee
avatar FallingHorse

It's a bit OOF, the green leaf under the bug seems to be in better focus. It is also lacking in detail which makes me think it's a cropped image rather than a true macro. I don't have a macro lens and have attempted to crop an image but the quality suffers too much IMO.

Oooh - now doesn't that make my initial statement look silly This is a better one IMO, nice leading lines and use of rule of 1/3's .. & straight horizon

avatar FallingHorse

I think there is a bit much foreground grass - it has grown wild and taken over the rest of the image
