"Sleeping" Spider - Amaurobius similis?
Found this one under a piece of fallen bark. It remained immobile while I completed a 17-image hand-held stack at F8. Later combined in Zerene Stacker. No retouching required (except multiple sensor dust-spot removal!)
It's incredible how well Stacker resolves all the individual hairs.
Canon 1D3 + MP-E 65mm Macro + MT24-EX Flash.
[Update: This image caused a degree of discussion on iSpot. Current view is that it's a male lace weaver (Amaurobius similis).]
