What a pose and a gorgeous natural droplet frame.

I love that the in focus droplets are not touching the legs, it creates this visual tension since they are almost touching but not quite.

A very dynamic and top quality capture!

Great macro, Todd. She's got crazy eight legs.😊 I like the excellent focus on the spider and on water beads in the web. On the extreme right side you have interesting foliage behind the web. Well done.

Very excellent technically controlled shot!
And looking at it, a person can get caught up completely in the actual details of the animal--seldom seen.

The ladies are quite a bit larger than the guys, so I made the call. Besides, "He's got legs" just doesn't sound right.
Thank you!
