I decided not to post the same views as everyone else as you all did a better job than me
so here is my take, all shots with D200 Tamron 28-75mm 2.8

Flower :)
Image
1/750 f4 ISO 200 @75mm

Golden Stairs
Image
1/640 f8 ISO 320 @28mm

Dinner Time
Image
1/100 f8 ISO 400 @75mm
I saw this large black wasp type bug fly into this web so I decided to wait and see what turned up
I was expecting a small spider to come out and have trouble with the wasp... then this dirty great big thing came out... no problems :)

the spider is my favourite followed by the stairs.

like the way the legs converge to the prey.

All are great, but I love the spider (possible since it's very far away!). Interesting composition on the stairs too.

That spider is awesome and very freaky Firsty, love the texture to it all. The colour in the flower shot is awesome, gotta love the Tammy hey!

Nice shots Keith... It can be difficult to come up with different shots when there are so many photographers around, but you succeeded...

Thanks for the brief play I had with your D200 as well... It's nice to see one in the flesh... Very different to the D70... BTW, If any of the 4 toothless shots of my daughter came out, then I wouldn't mind a copy...

The flower - lovely, great exposure and colour :)

The stairs don't do much for me.

But the spider is a cracker - well spotted!

When you're at a spot like yesterday it's all too easy to take the obvious shots (I'm certainly guilty of that!) - it's nice to see some took a different approach :)

Nice work Firsty! The stairs are great & I love the flower & the spider. Pity the poor wasp...

Keith,

Great work. I love the spider, and also the one of the stairs, although in this latter case I'm trying to figure out if this image hasn't been oversharpened just a bit too much.

I'm really undecided about that; it's a good image (I think) but you've taken the sharpening right to the edge. :)
