Lighting/colours are good. Focus is a bit soft.

Nice capture. Just a couple of points; 1) Fill flash or a reflector would bring up the shadows on the bottom left, 2) The frame is a bit too much.

I like the post-processing. But the drop-shadow frame detracts from the overall effect.

I love the sharpness here... And the composition is spot on.

Good focus and composition. Needs some fill flash to bring it out of the shadows.

Excellent lighting technique, I like the composition/angle. Good expression. The only flaw is the bottom of the bed you can see on the right, but nothing major.

Great capture. Although I'm a bit undecided about the desaturation, I find it a bit distracting.

This is just perfect. I'd love to know how you didn't totally blow it out shooting into the sun like that. Love the angle as well.

They look more like pedipalps to me, the second pair of appendages of the cephalothorax in Arachnida, homologous with mandibles in Crustacea, and corresponding to the mandibles of insects.

Although, I can see where the confusion arose... pedipalps of spiders have the same segmentation as the legs, but the tarsus is undivided, and the pretarsus has no lateral claws.

That's superb, very impressive. Nice idea replacing the background, it really makes the spider stand out.

Great detail on the legs. I especially like that 'translucent' effect. You've inspired me to chase down more spiders tomorrow. :)
