Cross Spider on Dogwood Leaf
I have posted an image of this little guy before using flash, but this time available light was nice and soft, and it was quite calm, not still, but calm enough. Fortunately it was in a position where I could set up my tripod to get closer more easily. It was resting on it's webbing and was staying put, so I was able to tweak the position of my tripod to take composition into account, which is not often the case.
I could have used a bit more depth of field as I would have liked the webbing to have been in better focus, but all in all I am very happy with it. As in all images on Flickr, the full view will look the best.
EDIT: Thanks to James R. Page for the ID on this one. And for my European Flickr friends it would be commonly known to you as a European garden Spider.
