I'd like to say this image was shot with intention but it was actually more of a "in the right place at the right time" capture.
I went to a nearby wooded stream knowing there would be some moss covered rocks in the area. I settled in on one rock about the size of a grapefruit to see what details I could get. After a couple of images I noticed this tiny white spider moving around so I shifted around to see if I could get a decent image of it.
Anyone walking by would have thought I was half crazy (well, maybe I am - LOL) ... I was sitting on the wet bank of this stream with both feet in the water, totally focused on this ordinary mossy rock. In the end, it was worth the wet and muddy clothes. :-D
It is an amazing shot! I’ve never seen a spider like that before! The spider’s almost translucent body combined with the moss forest surrounding it, makes it look like something out of a SciFi movie.
If you haven't looked like a weirdo or messed up some clothing trying to get a spontaneous capture, then you haven't REALLY earned your photographer stripes yet, I think. :-P

Yeah, the clear body is VERY cool! I was pretty excited to see what the photos were going to look like when I got back to the house.
... and congrats to YOU also with your new PB! Welcome to the crazy 8's club. :-)

Well, I didn't say it was the FIRST time. LOL ... certainly won't be the last. :-}

Thanks! I knew my wasp was nice, but I never expected the response it got, especially given the amazing competition! BTW, I think this is only the 3rd time in DPC history where two photos in the same challenge scored higher than 8. :-)

Where's the like button?!
Thanks for the backstory, Barry and congrats to you and Martus on the high scores.... you both got 8 or better from me!!
