I'm sure spiders will be a dime a dozen in this challenge...but I still love taking pictures of them. Of course, now I'm driving myself crazy switching between two different version, one with a b&w background, caused by shooting up towards a grey sky, and one with a green and orange background. Arg.

Grats! I too am a big fan of spider pictures (even though I'm terrified of them), and you're right, they are a dime a dozen. However, this photo is exceptional.
Congrats on the ribbon, the 70-200 bokeh is always beautiful, if you haven´t alreay come to the same conclusion I would experiment with a bigger aperture, I think this shot would have looked even better taken at f4 or even f2.8.
Well I guess you made the right choice! Congrats on the blue! I like that this shot is not stereotypical of either the spider or the droplets; that shows some creativity. Well done.
I *knew* there's be a spider web with dew in here somewhere. I don't like spiders! Anyway, lovely composition and colors and the dewdrops make for wonderful bokeh. I think the spider could be a bit sharper but I'm trying not to look too closely ;-)
