 At about 5:45 AM I was trying to get the perfect shot of a wild sunflower shinning in the rising morning sun. I happened to look into some dried weeds and saw several spiders hanging in their webs, ready to clean up their night's catch. This one was especially large compared to the others,and hiding, so I zeroed in on him. In their natural habitat even they have a beauty about them. Taken hand held with a #2 close-up filter.

EW! So detailed it gives me the creepy-crawlies.

ukk! definatly makes my skin crawl! I can't even look at it. I don't see roundness though, so it doesn't really fit the challenge. that and lack of appeal gets you a score of 4 by me

Quality shot and even though i dislike spiders, it is still a job well done.

Great macro shot.. not sure how it relates to the contest though

Excellent focus. I love the detail of the hair. Freaky!! Good luck.

Good picture but I don't really think this goes with the theme.

This is a great shot, but I fail to see the connection to Round.

Excellent photo, but I'm lost on the round aspect.
 07/16/2003 11:24:22 AM
roundness ?
 07/16/2003 09:34:57 AM
Whats so round about this photo?
 07/16/2003 08:55:01 AM
Nice close up...like the natural colors in the photo

Very cute name! And a great macro... I can definitely see that his body is round! I wish you had used a fill flash to give him some more detail though... -6-

Wah! Those legs... *shudders*.
Great colours and textures, interesting composition. The spider could have done with better lighting though. 7
