Nice catch! Would you mind clicking store original next time so we could view it larger?

Your D800 has a full frame, 35.9 x 24.0 mm CMOS sensor, but you have used digital cropping, significantly reducing active sensore size and pixel count.
What was your Working Distance (lens front element to subject)? I suspect that you can get closer. To prevent "small aperture diffraction", I also recommend that you do not use an aperture smaller than f/16.
Exif info:
Camera Model: NIKON D800
Image Date: 2014-08-25
Focal Length: 180mm
Digital Zoom: 1.530x
Aperture: f/20.0
Exposure Time: 0.0050 s (1/200-sec)
ISO equiv: 100
Exposure Bias: none
Metering Mode: Matrix
Exposure: Manual
Exposure Mode: Manual
White Balance: Auto
Flash Fired: Yes

Aperture & shutter duration are always factors in digital image capture. I was surprised to read that your D800 will synchronize with shutter at 1/320-sec or longer: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/dslr-cameras/25480/D800.html (Tech Specs). Small aperture diffraction is quite noticeable, beginning at f/16: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-59819-1.htmlI used the Nikon R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System and aperture or shutter speed is not a factor with that system, the closest I could get without spooking the spider was 8-inches.
Are your two SB-R200 speedlights bare, or do they have diffusers?

I have a diffuser for the R200s but here I left them bare. I had to use the D800 as the D810 is at NPS and I didn't want the weight of the D4, but the D810 handles the Sigma 180mm better than the D800, it focuses faster and gives an all-around better quality image with the macro lens. At times I use the D710 with the Sigma 180mm which works fairly well. This shot was taken at the same time only a little further back to get the full web in the Photo.Are your two SB-R200 speedlights bare, or do they have diffusers?

Saturation is high on my end. Are you shooting raw and upping it in post or is this from in camera jpeg processing.
