Argiope aurantia -- The Black and Yellow Garden Spider

Argiope aurantia
This really nice female Argiope aurantia (Commonly known as the Black and Yellow Garden Spider) has currently taken residence in our backyard garden near our tomato plants. I have seen these off and on over the years around our house, but never one this big (I estimate her to be about 3 to 3 1/2 inches from front leg to back leg when sitting on the web.
I first spotted her from our kitchen window which is on the 2nd floor of my house overlooking the garden.. she was that big that she was easily spotted, so I grabbed my camera and took some shots of her...

Could you crop her more closely (from the original shot) and upload the closeup?
