Artist's Description

Not one of normal shots but couldn’t resist sharing this critter with you.

I passed between 2 shrubs in my garden and caught this guy’s web – hadn’t seen it! He immediately started to repair the damage – and passed certain expletives to me!

If you are not Arachnophobic – enjoy!

BEST VIEWED LARGER – if you dare!

Canon 400D, Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS USM Lens at 85mm, ISO 800, f5.6, 1/180 sec. Hand held.

Single RAW image tonemapped in Photomatix 4.0 to bring out the colours and contrast. Levels and cropping adjustments in CS4.
