20 plus hand held shot of a Female Phidippus mystaceus sitting on a golden leaf.Captured with my trusted D600 and Tokina 100mm macro lens and a full set of tubes. Took over an hour waiting for her to settle down to capture the shot. Over in less than a minute. Whish I could train them to sit still. Hope you enjoy, Martin......

Hi ML, I am a fan of you macro shots, simply exquisite! Would you mind explaining what full set of tubes means and maybe point out for me where I can learn more about this? I also have a 100 mm macro lens but I have not been able to get the details as shown in yours. I know how to do stacking.

Awesome shot! I absolutely hate spiders, particularly daddy long legs. Bug, I have to admit, a macro shot like this gives them a little character and personality! It's amazing what they really look like!
