Lovely fellow. :-) Could have gone with a tad less negative space up top IMO. The main subject here is the "eyes" and hairy-ness of the spider ... that is lost a little bit with the small area of the photo dedicated to it (i.e. a tighter crop may be better here?). Also, the highlights are blown on the spiders back (that area is nearly the same size as the "subject" matter).

Okay, now wait a minute... You're fooling me. And you're fooling me well. When looking at the stuff in the background, it looks as if the sand in the hourglass is indeed running up. Because the stuff in the background seems placed regularly. But that is of course impossible, since sand can't run up.
Nah...you're fooling me :) And you're fooling me well :)
Gosh, I must look stupid now and when others will read this after roll over.

Excellent layout and composition. I like it in all green tones but I also wonder how it would have looked with a red skinned apple.

I really, really wish this had warmer, more luminous lighting. It could be so sweet if it weren't blocked up in the shadows. I especially want to see more of the crank.

Nice shot, it just seems slightly oversharpened.
