Nice shot. I like the catch light in his beady little eyes. What size is this 8 legged critter?

It's about three centimeters. I wouldn't want to test it's bite.

Yikes! Great close-up - very brave with a 24mm! :)

Thanks Sury. I really needed a macro lens as this is a very heavy crop due to the fact I couldn't focus any closer.

I agree. Even spiders have their own amount of beauty.

I would recommend a long FL macro for these kinds of shots, Jeff. No point getting any closer than needed with these kinds of creatures. :D
