Of course, the lager aperture opening, the smaller the number and shallower DoF.

I like the shot anyway. You can see the web on it nicely.
Actually, I only mentioned the lens because it's (from what I've read) very sharp, and that photo is somewhat out of focus.

But I'm still very new to SLR photography, so thanks for that, I didn't know before.

The focal length was 125mm and the EXIF data can be seen here.
