with that black background, it may not me think at all to a garden... so I doubt it meets the challenge

This is at least the second "spider with a dark background" picture I've seen, and I've been confused both times as to why someone would feel this conveyed 'in the garden'. If the background were visibly gardeny, sure. But this could be anywhere.

It's a good shot; the lighting on the spider is good and it's a very well focussed close-up. It just doesn't do me topically.

Very good, I had one similar to yours, but it wouldn't compare, yours is much better...Good luck.

The harsh lighting is very effective here, and enhances the texture of your subject. Also very nice texture captured in the silk strand he's hanging from. Colour has been captured nicely given the harsh lighting. Good crop. 9
