Default Spider in Ice ?

Hi All,

This is the best photo I have taken i guess . But I can still improve!!

Ice Ice baby ... Is this Ice ??

It had just stopped raining and the sun had come out bright. As usual I was in search of insect to photograph, it had been raining for more than 2 weeks. I saw this jumping garden spider on the wall outside. Switched to spot metering and took a few shots before it went away.

Exif Info:
Camera: Canon PowerShot A720 IS
Exposure: 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal Length: 5.8 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Metering Mode: Spot

Cheers
Amit

ooohhh shudder.... that just creeps me out! Not your fault though.. just spiders in general.
Great shot though, good capture of the little guy.. and it's definitely against a much different background than one might expect.
