Macro She

Charles Aznavour.....

She may be the face I can't forget,
A trace of pleasure or regret,
May be my treasure or
The price I have to pay

Wonderful macro shot. Was this natural illumination? Looks like it is. The spider might be genus Araneus, although without a specimen in hand it is extremely difficult to id spiders to genus, unless they are one of the very unusually shaped or colored types.

Well, she's still there, but the male hasn't been seen since his first attempts!

I'm glad they're only small, about one inch....

Thank you! No, this is no natural light. I used my onboard flash with DIY macro flash diffuser. And the spider is Araneus diadematus, indeed. They are very common over here!

Great shot!
The details, the composition, the light, I like it all

I love this photo, Rense. I really like spiders and never evict them from the house, but goodness, I'm glad I'm not the size of a fly!

Awesome macro. Great focus where it needs to be.

Spiders inherently bother me and I'm an entomologist.

Thanks Tamia! The same here, they don't look like a friendly neighbour, do they?
