spider suspended

This orb web was at waist level, tilted about 30 degrees from vertical. The spider was suspended below the web.
It took a few tries to get the exposure right without blowing out the spider highlights (dark background).
(Not to mention the depth of field I wanted to achieve.)
The sun also was shifting, and a couple minutes later, the web was almost invisible (in shadow).

Great capture! Nice DOF, and you can see the web in a "lensing refraction" disturbances to the right. Very cool!
