Default Today's Spider

An orb weaver in a leaf, the leaf being part of a hedge in my front yard. I like spiders, so I apologize to any arachnophobes.

Im not proud to admit it but I'm scared of spiders.
However this shot and the other shots of this spider on your blog are really good.
In my opinion though you should have posted a different shot of this as its not really clear where the spider is.
He's camoflauged.

Great shot neverless.

Thanks for your comment, Igor. There was really only one way to shoot this particular spider. There was another orb weaver above him on the hedge with a full web. I did take more shots of this spider, and tried a couple different angles. I haven't processed those yet. If I come up with something different, I'll post it.
