Great shot I hate spiders and yet fascinating to photograph. Love getting water beading on the webs. You even got a baby one behind her, so cool. V

If spiders didn't give me the heebie-jeebies, I would say "Wow, great work." The water droplets add a lot of interest, and your focus is perfect. Very nice -- and yuck -- but mostly very nice.
