Hello Bev, a warm welcome to the forum.
A fantastic close of the spider, nice sharp detail in the eyes.
You were brave getting that close to the spider with a 50mm lens, I think the closest I have been is around 1 ft, until they move then I'm off. I like the little jumping spiders but haven't had much luck in getting any good close-ups.
