    This picture of this silver argiope spider is the first close-up photo that I post here in CiC.
    Comments are welcome.
    Cheers,
    Antonio.

    Very nicely done! There is a lot of sharp detail in the photo.

    I would lighten the spider to bring out detail. You can do this in post sometimes, but for bugs, I usually use a highly diffused flash. In this case, I just used selection tools in Photoshop. I hope you will keep going with this...
