I caught my little apider doing her aerial act yesterday. As I had my extension tubes on I was able to get a more detailed look at her and thought you may like to as well.
The contrast was very strong because of the angle of the light so I've had to do some post processing. See if you can spot the trick.

Another superb macro Brian. I can't really spot anything here except maybe you have removed something from around the front of the spiders legs and darkened the backround???
Well done.

So that's where the thread comes from...out of it's bottom :-I

Right, got that. I think a starling has been trying to spin a web on my windowsill!
Stunning shot. I think I'll drop into eBay and see about getting some extension tubes! Congratulations on an excellent image.
Nobody spotted the "trick" so I will explain. As the shot exposure was so difficult I had to play around with layer adjustments to get the spider properly lit. Having done that I discovered that the spider web had disappeared. I tried several methods to get it propely exposed but couldn't get the lighting balance right between spider and web. In the end had to draw it back in ( a bit of a cheat but not creating something that wasn't there to start with).
The fact that nobody noticed indicates I didn't do too bad a job 
Hope you don't feel I "cheated" too much?
Brian
