Argiope aurantia photographed in my back yard last week. Shot with a Canon EOS 50D, 24-105L lens set at 80mm, f7.1 at 1/400, ISO 200. Processed in ACR. The image was then converted for smart filters in PS CS6. A radial blur was applied and selected areas were painted out of the blur.
Very dramatic effect. Nice work.
