Wild Spider in Cape Verde

[stevebuk]

Hi all,

I noticed this rather cool looking spider outside our room and took a shot with my X100S. I'm quite pleased with it seeing as not a macro lens. Does anyone know what it is? I've tried to separate the spider from the background, but not sure if I need to do more? Any thoughts?

Thanks
Steve

Looks like a wasp spider
Argiope bruennichi Did you get the other side ?

Thanks, afraid not, wasn't able to get under or behind.

Ah just looked up cape verde so probably not Argiope bruennichi.
