Dancing on the strand

This unusual big garden spider HAVE to be photographed ... but the result was surprising me!

I took this picture with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 of my girlfriend, with highest possible resolution of 5 megapixel in macro mode.

In the beginning she was sitting in the middle of her web, but after two shots she feels like disturbed, so she started to go to her hiding place in the near shrub. On this strand she remained and lent herself to make again some more pictures.
Actually the autofocus of the little digital camera furnished rather unsatisfying results, but this one got simply perfect! :-D

Additional I had in this moment a eminently calm hand

I just cropped the picture, resized it and did some sharping after it.
