Very good. Most of our UK spiders look quite dull in comparison.
Thank you, Geoff. It's a Golden Silk Spider. They get pretty big. See the link for info.

A good shot. I would suggest you don't get too close to it if it keeps on growing to an enormous size.
My preference would be for the background to be a little less saturated. The strong colours detract a little from the spider.
I came by one day, and the web and spider were gone. I greeted and viewed this spider on multiple occasions, so it was a bit of a disappointment. Weird how you can get attached. I guess the web can catch more than a fly.
Regarding the background, I have some versions, as you suggested, less saturated. Because of my vision, I tend to boost contrast so I can see it better. But in general, It probably could use less saturation. Will take another look. Thank you for that, Paul.
