That just could not be nicer. Wonderful spider and to my eye just right touch. The pic is interesting, but a darker background would highlight the subtle richness in the materials. It's beautiful the way it is, just an observation.

w,
Good observation.
I wonder how it would look on a black background? May have to try that. Thanks for the suggestion!
