Your diffuser reflection is looking a lot better now, I will have to trim my diffuser to get a more attractive reflection also.
The focus line in the above pic is amazing, makes it really evident with the texture of the cloth.

Re: spiders
Here is a busy spider fixing its web. Look closely, does it look to you guys that he has double fangs on each side.

Re: spiders
Then I hit the jackpot with this giant. It is a Banded Argiope. The large rear section was slightly smaller than my thumb width. When I first saw this one hidden in the bushes I thought it was a toy. I quickly through my 40mm macro on and crawled into the bushes hoping I would not scare it away. This spider was big enough that I could not get too close with the macro because it filled the viewfinder. No cropping on these images.
Top side.
I then went around to the other side once I was sure I hadn't missed an opportunity on this monster only to be rewarded with an even more beautiful sight.
Bottom side. Note the fangs. They were slightly thinner than a toothpick.
ICK! I wish I knew why some uploads looks so good and others fall apart as these two did.

Nikon D7000. Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM. Not something I normally try and shoot.
