[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken on a very bright day. It was hard to meter on the little spider, but focusing was a lot easier This is what resulted from the trade-off.

I was able to move in as close as possible, then further cropped the image in PP.

-------
In PP: levels adjusted, multiply mode blend, selective sharpening

I have the same lens and tried quite a few macro shots with it. Wide open is indeed an unusual choice for macro, and I wonder why you like it this much. Hand-held, probably, and trying to avoid camera shake? This shot isn't it, in my opinion: the depth of field is so extremely narrow at f/2.8 that barely anything is in focus, the light is unfortunate, you have dark shadows and strong highlights, and considerable noise. A nice try, though.
