Garden orb weaver

In the past week a few of these have decided t move into our back yard ... which I found out by absolutely shitting myself after walking into one of their webs!

All handheld photos with D700 with 105 2.8 + 20mm extension tube and 2 SB-900s (one on camera, one in the other hand) - the worst part is the fact I'm only about 5-10 cms from her, and the wind keeps blowing the web around.

Any C&C appreciated

The lighting looks very good. The subject looks... unpleasant. :wink:
Number three would be my pick.

:rotfl2: as the saying goes 'harden the f up'
it won't hurt ya.....much.

I really like the first one, however rotating it 180 or 90 would be better imo, with that BG you would not be able to tell which way is up :)

a bit like so...(let me know if you want it removed etc) with a bit of extra PP to boot..

Quite like the Gerry version. I love the ominous feel created by the black background.
