Welcome back Sebastien.
You have captured here a spider with a big dinner. Very good composition, good colours too,and the dof is also good. Perfect note. Also very good job.

Sebastien, I was wondering where you had been. If this is what you do when you disappear for a few days, do it more!

Excellent image, details, colour and composition are superb _ has to be the best spider shot I have seen on here.

Well done!

Great work Sébastien!

Wow, what a scene you captured, Sebastien - it could also be entered into the "mealtime" category of the current scavenger hunt on TE ... Stunning detail in this scene I never saw before, great colors, and very good DOF. Your note makes an excellent companion to this photo, well done.

I cannot believe what I see. You got it all, the eyes, the hairs, colours, prey, swaddling. Spider master. I will cherish this photo. (and probably look at it 10 times) Spiders, and photo's of them are my favourite. Thanx Sebastien. Very detailed note too.

It's a brilliant capture, sharp, good details and light, but it also gives me the creepies ;-)) I'm glad we don't get them this big in Denmark ;-)

Great capture of this spider finishing her meal - a darter if I am not wrong. Very nice colours and details and well used dof. Great job Sebastien

Sebastien:

Great tale and the photo documents the spider's behavior very well. One can see how she takes the webbing from her spinneret with its hind legs to wrap its prey. Your account is wounderful for us naturalist as it gives us an insight that could help us when photographing spiders. However, it would be nice to know how you took the picture and the equipment you used.

Delicious! Very nice macro of this arachnid. The clarity is superb, and you also manage to tell a story with your photo. The note was fantastic, too, and I now know why spiders need all 8 legs!
