This is a very interesting shot, and I think there are some nice composition elements, for example, the angle of the web. I think one thing to improve would be the background, which is a little dull, and doesn't give you much idea of where the shot was taken, or what the surroundings are.
I hope thins helps,

-Sam

Nice job on your first macro attempt.

The only thing that I noticed is the focus seems to be off. It doesn't appear to be on the spider, and I can't really tell where the focus fell. Did you use auto-focus? If so, you may want to switch to manual focus when doing macro shots. Just a suggestion.

Nice capture, though.
