 I know this probably will not come close to doing that well in the challenge due to the extreme depth of field and subject matter. The reason why I like it so much is it was taken hand held no tripod and I caught the most important feature of the spider crystal clear... the eyes. I wasn't planning on entering this challenge to begin with but when I saw those black eyes i thought... I need to share. Prediction on this photo...5.2634.

Oh and if you think this guy was big, he wasn't. He would fit comfy inside the 0 key on your keyboard.

(Post challenge)** w00t passing grade, did better than I thought.
