 I don't like spiders enough to get this close to one, but I felt it was a chance I should take.

Nice detail.

Interesting crop, it's unconventional and I like it.
 03/17/2009 07:55:00 AM
Bit over processed imo.
 03/16/2009 08:37:33 PM
Great shot.
 03/16/2009 05:27:00 PM
Your title pretty much says it all. I'm not understanding why you chose to crop it the way you did.
 03/16/2009 01:21:59 PM
crop extreme for a reason Im sure, but this aspect ratio really hurts it

Beautiful color especially in the legs. Well shot.

Great color, angle, and lighting.
 03/15/2009 11:25:17 AM
Image has some pixellation that is distracting. The spider fits well into the crop.

the colour adds another dimension here
 03/15/2009 08:05:39 AM

 03/14/2009 06:22:10 PM
not too bad not too keen on the size
 03/14/2009 03:36:13 PM
interesting shot af a spider - cool
 03/14/2009 10:07:46 AM
Colors are marvelous. Lines of the legs work. Can't stand spiders :-(
 03/14/2009 09:03:10 AM
unique crop for a spider shot, I like it and the spider is well captured, 7
 03/14/2009 05:40:18 AM
Wow, a wide aspect ration shot that actually works at this size!

The short/wide format works splendidly here. Nice composition. Good colors. I like it.
 03/13/2009 12:01:51 PM
Great detail, the color and transparency gives a very nice touch.
 03/12/2009 04:17:26 PM
I would have straightened that stem but good detail and nice perspective shooting it upwards.

Ooohh...I don't know if I could manage that being afraid of spiders.
 03/12/2009 12:06:57 PM
Interesting photo. I like the long line.
 03/12/2009 09:54:07 AM
I'm not sure the irregular crop adds anything to this photograph.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:50:08 AM
Good pic but an average pic.
 03/12/2009 07:56:58 AM
the spiders legs have an almost translucent quality to them ... I'm wondering how big he really was, it's hard to judge with no real reference in the picture ...

nice macro, but I would prefer to see a little more of the image
 03/12/2009 04:44:39 AM
Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!
 03/11/2009 11:57:05 PM
Thats a colorful little fella
 03/11/2009 06:47:21 PM
Cool spider - could have used a little more light on it.
 03/11/2009 05:08:15 PM
The extreme horizontal of the crop turns me off a bit.

Not voting yet.
 03/11/2009 04:33:49 PM
Looks a bit over-processed (sharpening, saturation) but I like the composition.
 03/11/2009 03:01:31 PM
I like the long crop but I might have trimmed of a bit more from the left side.

 03/11/2009 01:08:14 PM
Indeed too close! But they are kinda fascinating sometimes. I like the translucence of the legs.
 03/11/2009 12:36:34 PM
no thanks! 7
 03/11/2009 09:27:41 AM
Very sharp. Interesting crop. Very sleek! :)
 03/11/2009 01:53:00 AM
Nice colors, but the small size makes it difficult to see a lot of detail
