Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Its really hard to differentiate yous technical strengths from the weaknesses with this particular HDR image. The center of the image appears in focus, as does the top portion just above center. It looks like the wind, as well as the tremendous amount of post-processing played a large role in losing a good deal of your web detail. I see a lot of softness and pixelation from the various post-processing steps you used.

Lighting: Even with the HDR rendering, the center of the image feels a bit too bright.

Composition/Content: Centered composition works well is many instances. I think that it fits your image well. Unfortunately, this was a free study. Those are always judged especially harshly.

My Opinion: I am not an HDR fan as a general rule. The various effects used and the obvious difficulty obtaining good starting images have definitely detracted from your score's potential. As is, I think this one scored accordingly.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Nice spider and web action. Moving subjects are not easy, nor plausible, subjects for multiple HDR exposure blending.
