Superb shots yet again. How did you shoot the spider, Brian? They usually face downwards. Did you get the camera underneath and shoot upwards? If so, do you have a right angle finder to help you do that?
Incidently, since each of these is a multi-shot stack, aren't you going over the eight shot limit per post?

Beautifull captures Brian, the detail you capture is amazing.

Thanks for the comments everyone- very much appreciated
eccles- think you are right- there's about 23 shots here
Funny you should mention the orb web spider- I don't normally photograph these anymore (done them too many times) but this one was high up on the side of my greenhouse which meant that I could get a shot from underneath and rest my camera lens on the glass and the web was shielded from the wind- couldn't resist trying it esp as I wanted to do a 3-D. No don't have a right angle finder.
