These are such successful creatures - we have a very similar species all the way down at the southern tip of Africa. Excellent macro.

Fantastic shot!! A female spider?? Your eyesight is quite impressive! ;) Kidding aside: Since few years, we have those beautiful spiders too in our area and currently at least two in our own orchard. Their webs are interesting too, with that zigzag line inside.
