INTSY WINTSY SPIDER

I was just finishing up at work, wondering what I could take a photo of that wouldn't take too much time, I have a busy night ahead. As I closed one of the skylights, I noticed this tiny chappie sat across the corner of the frame. I wasn't sure if the macro facility on my camera would cope - he is only about 2mm across - but by almost wrapping the end of the lens in his spiderweb I managed to get a reasonably sized image. Fortunately, he is lit from the skylight above, so I didn't have the problem of the camera lens blocking the light.

Comments and opinions are most welcome, thanks.

Fortunate indeed! I like the composition and how the light trails off. Nice capture.
