Description I like how this one looks like it is floating. Don't know what happened to the border...

I had to use continuous auto focus on this as I was holding the camera above my head (and squinting to see through the viewfinder) and the spider's web was also blowing in the wind. There was no other way I could keep it in focus!

Wow tough shot with the wind blowing! I like the minimalist aspect of it. Just the spider on white. I kind of like the border.

Yeah, I saw what happened with the border and considered just for a second changing it, then thought - no, it's kind of different and interesting. Still, not going to do it for any other shots.

This is really an amazing capture, detailed, and cool. Though because it's a spider my skin is crawlin a little bit. Haha. But seriously, well done.

Yeah, I can't look at my spider photos too often. I'm very glad when I'm done editing one and I can upload it and never look at it again. *shudder*

Thanks for the comment.

Did you resize the image after you created the border? It could have turned into less then a pixel wide.

Wonderful lack of background.

Nope, I always resize before putting a border on. *shrug* I'll just have to make the thin border 2 pixels. Photoshop doesn't seem to like 1 pixel borders.

Thanks! The white background is just because I was shooting into the sky. It's over-exposed blue sky.
