Comment by ThingFish:
An image that is well executed with excellent lighting and most definitely scored well below it's actual worth whatever that "worth" is worth here on DPC.
I actually opened a thread about this particular challenge theme whilst the challenge was still open for entries.

You cannot "shoot from behind your subject"
But you can "shoot your subject from behind"

Your "subject" will always be in front of your lens irrespective of where you are.
You can however shoot the "behind" of your "subject" but only if your "subject" has a "behind"
Some "subjects" don't have "behinds" such as for instance trees although it's perfectly possible to hide "behind" a tree.
If you're interested to see the thread and the responses it evoked here it is:

one of your 9's - I thought this would score much higher. Excellent dof and beautiful color.

Good pic. I think that insect shots like this would do better in voting if the spider was doing something. Unfortunately they spend a lot of time sitting and waiting, don't they?

Nice hdr, I think you either needed to buy into the shot as a panoramic view or square it up a bit.

The colors are very intense. Thanks for sharing the post processing technique - I wish doing so had been an "official" part of the challenge as I would have loved to have more details about many of the entries.
