What a fantabulous photo. Great focus with tremendous detail. Almost makes me scared to touch the screen.

Thanks Roy. It was a fun one to shoot with my 60mm Macro lens too. Fortunately these are not poisonous.

Not poisonous? This is so scary, I would expired if one of them crawls on me.

Moiety, I think I would have expired if one crawled on me too! This very interesting spider is called "St. Andrew's Cross" and is apparently quite common around the world. They are fairly large, but the ones I encountered during this shooting session were totally docile. I had the lens about 3 inches (6cm) from it and it never twiched!!

Nice shot Larry. As with most macro shots, I noticed the DOF is paper thin. Good job keeping the focus on the head.

Thanks Vin. I am not personally very satisfied with the shot, but I find that more and more I am satisfied less and less. LOL
