p.1 #1 · #307 Berries, leaves, legs, lines

I found this tiny spider while I was looking for repetition among the weeds. These are berries on a holly tree, about a quarter inch in diameter. I tried a few life size shots of the little arachnid, but backed off a bit to get this off-center composition and show more of the berries.

f/22 @ 1/25 sec., ISO 6400 needed to try to tame the swaying motions in the constant breeze that I couldn't even feel! Wider apertures just didn't work for this "deep" subject.

Thanks for looking. Comments are welcome.

Hello Jess, very nice capture for this week’s theme!
So many identical berries competing for attention with the “repeating” legs of your friendly arachnid!
