 This little jumping spider was exploring my computer screen. When I moved my cursor close to him he oriented toward it. As I moved it closer, he moved away. When I moved it away, he followed and tried to pounce on it. Amazingly, he kept this game going until I eventually tired of it. Later he came back and repeated the performance, allowing me to make a movie of it.

Brilliant! Original! Technically superb and meets the challenge. I love how you can see the individual red, green, and blue pixels on the screen. High marks for this one.

Hah! that's cool!

A very nice concept, and amusing. The color glare on the screen provides an interesting background without being distracting or too harsh, and the spider is in good focus, with interesting colors and translucency.

Must be stumbling on 7 legs. I like the creativity.

Guess bugs don't freak you out. Did you coax it on the screen or did it just happen to crawl there? The orange from the computer screen is a big distracting though.

Damn buggy software ;)
 04/28/2005 01:58:48 PM

The image of the spider is very clear and detailed, but it bothers me that the background is a computer screen. It DOES make it easy to see the spider, but the broken up look of the screen detracts from the subject.

which is the focus point in the pix? the arrow should go
 04/27/2005 05:43:36 PM
nice concept, i think b/w would have worked better.. the colours from the monitor are distracting
04/27/2005 02:21:51 PM
Interesting, but lacks appeal, awesome focus and creativity though, 6
 04/27/2005 01:53:47 PM
