I think that this image is stunning. It makes me itchy. Great use of color and fascinating take on the challenge. It works for me. The lighting is very nice. Awesome image.

pretty wild colors in the image. sorry to be anal here, but this comes nowhere near authority. this is a cool shot of a beautiful spider, and it is a decidedly different twist on the challenge, but i'm not seeing authority in any sense of the word.

Nice macro. You might try flipping it vertically. Would give an interesting and differrent perspective.

Nice angle and composition

a tad more DOF would have been nice. you sure got his big rear end in focus though... ;)

Focus here is really really off. I do like the title though.
11/25/2004 05:01:44 AM
LIttle greater DOF would be nice to see all her legs

I would like to see the entire spider in the depth of feild, currently to much of the web at the top left is in focus, and the impact would be greater if the spider was in complete focus

good subject matter! No matter what, spiders seem to have authority over ME with the fear they illicit!

good idea, but the spider is out of focus. 7 is it was in focus, 5 without.

Good idea and nice framing but the DOF is totally off here IMO. If you would have included the fly and her front part insted of her rear I am pretty sure it would have been a killer shot. Good colours and good composition.

Nice angle. I wish you had increased the DOF a hair. Overall a strong entry.
