This creeps me out. But it's so pretty with all the super tiny bokeh-glitter mixed with the really big bokeh and the thin strands of spider web kind of just stringing off in really straight directions. { Here comes the double negatives } I just can't -not- look at it. This is something I don't see often when I do break out the courage to look at spider photos; spiders upsidedown on their web covered in water drops, or morning dew I assume ? It's usually just the spider itself, spiders rightside up, and/or just the web or no dew. All of the colours, even if they are few, are bold and bright. I can tell the spider is slightly transparent, as much as I'm trying not to look at it and be crept out, it's very powerful. It does not care that it is covered in water, that is his web. He is going to stay by it and stick on it { literally }

I love the greens and greyish blues for the background that just contrast everything else and makes the spider pop and highlights its features and web. The focus is genius, too. Not only is the spider in focus, but so is the web it clings to; I can see the legs kind of walking along the web towards you slowly as the web kind of sticks but lets go.
The light in the corner is brilliant, too ~ You just have a great combination of colours and shading and lighting coming in. A greatly stunning photo indeed.

You are a very brave soul to be even remotely close and not freak out for this photo. I will rarely even try to get a shot like this with my 300ml lens ahah...
