Jewel-Like

I saw this tiny spider on a flower petal on my walk this morning. It was pretty small on the flower which filled most of the picture frame, so I had to crop a lot away. I couldn't get any closer because the yard was fenced and I was right up against the fence. The result of such a big crop was better than I thought it would be for a file from a P&S sized sensor, though far from equal to what I would have got from my DSLR. I was impressed with the jewel-like appearance of the spider.
