Two Focus stacked shots from Yesterday and Tonight. All comments welcomed. Flash was the main light source on both.

Think the orb caught a Dragon fly or a Damsel, its eating something in the pic and you can see the wing detail. Its web was in a terrible state so it must have put up a struggle.

Excellent detail. That spider is a terrific shot.

Almost reminds me of Shelob from Lord of the Rings...
