Hi, the photo lacks clarity. From the shape my best guess is a black and yellow banded orbweaver, Argiope aurantia. They have black and yellow stripes and dots on their abdomen and silver colored heads. They make that X shape with their legs and rest looking downward. The webs can be really big. Take a look at other photos on this site and you might recognize your spider. They are also called banded garden spiders by some people.
