No photoshopping here, just a photo what I took.

# I think the occassional picture of a cool spider
is not really a problem

It was entire Sundays of "Here is a pretty sunset i took a picture of!" that pissed people off.

Still, sticking a top hat and a monocle on the little fella wouldn't go amiss.

Real Photo Sunday was students posting 3000 of their photos every week that they took for photography projects, right?

# she's beautiful.
and per all the chatter up there, people tend to like manipulated images here though it's not a hard and fast rule. as a new person you'll be savaged for it, but once you get a few thousand posts under your belt you can ignore that and just yell at newbs who don't do things your way.

I got my info from Wikipedia...

But the Orb Web spider is pretty close, same sort of species. The Orb Web, Garden Spider, Cross Spider are all essentially the same thing.
