Beautifully done! You found extensive planes of focus on those long legs. Especially in the first picture.
You should let one try to 'balloon' away from you in a light breeze. They can be pretty amazing at doing that.

I am going with what Mark said. He made a good suggestion, I imagine it will be hard to achieve but you could do it.

You continue to amaze me with your work and the quality of your finds. It's as though you have a magic wand to make them appear and photograph them...You do have a magic wand, don't you?

I am recounting on one occasion where I had one of these outdoors for a staged shot on a wooden stick. It was not having it. The spider would immediately run to the top of the stick, point its abdomen into the air, and send out strands of silk into the breeze which would then hang up into a tree about 10 feet away. It would then suddenly 'fly', moving swiftly along the silk to the tree. It did this several times and I could only just barely intercept it by leaping up and waving my arm thru the silk escape route. Frustrating for getting pictures, the rascal, but still it was amazing.
