Good finish for a good picture.
Now, do you have one showing the pink stripes?
Thank you. As a matter of fact, I do - but it IS a different spider. Not sure if you are suggesting 'Mrs Misumena' had 'pink stripes' or not, but she did not. This shot is of another 'Misumena Vatia' who lives a couple of bushes to the east:
And, if really interested, more information/research can be had here (BugGuide.Net), here (What's That Bug?) and here (SpiderRoom.info).

The use of negative space is good. I like the crop. The water droplets add some nice shadowing to the petals.
She is fairly opaque/translucent in the legs. The 'lens I should have used' is 'unavailable' at present, but my little Fuji did quite well to show some of her features.
Thank you to all those that voted it high. Again, very pleased with my 'place'. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mrs Misumena for her patience and cooperation, she threw a few 'draglines' out that day, but 'we persisted' and she went safely back 'home'.
I know I really like this image but am not sure why... It meets the challenge very well but I can't tell if it's the colors or comp that works so well... I KNOW it's not the spider... :)
Oooooooooooo.... How come I couldn't find a white spider or insect for this challenge? I tried...I even carried around a white piece of cordboard in the event I found a shot. Nice Job. 8
