Yikes!  I'm not sure viewing larger was a good idea :)  Seriously, a great shot, well done.

What an Incredible capture, the detail is just exquisite. I rate this a 7

Seven, nothing but seven would do enough for this masterpiece!

Jody, I think you should make a list of your equipment and click on the appropriate for every picture, especially for macros!

Best regards!

Excellent macro photo. I have to check & search the web, what this photo stack technique is and how it's done, I'm an old-fashioned photograper and I have never heard about it...except one other photo of yours, you mentioned the same words/technique.

Wow!!! Brilliant macro, Jody...wonderful details and colors...my best

Jody, this is unreal, a 7+++.  A 79 image stack?  Unbelievable!  I wont ask how you got the spider to sit so still through all those images : )    Add me to the list of those curious about the equipment you use.  Aloha!

Also curious as to if you used the stacking available in Photoshop.  I have it and used it on one of my orchids.  But 79?  Wow!

I used 3 Kenko extension tubes, Sigma 150mm, reversed Canon 85/1.8. Mirror lockup, remote shutter release..

I do use Photoshop CS5 for stacking smaller images as it is more accurate than Zerene Stacker which I used for this image.

Thanks all!

A perfect nightmare.  I guess a darker bg would make it a little more sinister but the the fringes would need to be illuminated.

Great technical work Jody.

Thanks for the tech details Jody.   Your advanced techniques put you in a league of your own.  

And you have got all the details like a microscopic view!!A masterpiece indeed & 7 all the way.

My best regards.

Exceptional image.

Excellent as usual

A stunning capture I will never look at spiders in the same way, scary but beautiful. 

Superb macro,did you touch with focus stacking?
