Nice patterns created by the web. The shutter speed was less. As you were hand holding, I think using a higher ISO would have helped to get more details. Was it possible to move a bit more to the left? Is this also called as 'Signature Spider'? Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes, it's really difficult to separate two species unless you are an expert.

I always find it difficult to get enough depth of field and more importantly in getting the plane of focus right to get the entire scene. A slightly wider crop would have been better. Thanks for sharing.
