Insane. I love it! You captured the macro of the webish stuff up close and nicely focused while capturing the monstorous looking spider in the back. The spider is in perfect form. I can only imagine this spider to walk into view and be the tinyest little spider with a cute cartoon face

Actually, it's a 5" tarantula, and a very aggressive one at that.

This is fantastic.....love how you focused on the web with the silhouette of the spider in the background. Reminds me of that movie "The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) " [link] Anyways, this is a must fave excellent work.

This is so cool and spooky. I love how the spider is out of focus, and all you can see clearly is the web. Really fantastic work.
