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!

Izaak, Howdy;

Maybe you could try a 'Boring Blue' ( ;) ) like Hans uses ... your choise of course...
