Cat-faced Orbweaver
I am not absolutely sure of the ID, but one thing for sure, this guy was big. The pattern of lines are the marks of a pressure treated piece of lumber, that can give you a sense of scale.
It was not going anywhere so I got out the tripod and macro lens and shot a few different focus stacks. I did move in for one set of shots and it turned out well, but decided on this one because it contained the entire spider.
Definitely this one needs to be viewed full to get the maximum impact, and I have posted the full sized shot. I am pretty stoked with how it turned out. One thing about focus stacking is that you can not see how it looks until you have processed it and ran it through some kind of stacking software.
