Comment by Alex_Europa:
You shot this at f/25 for a Bokeh challenge? You would have placed MUCH higher if you had dropped your aperture to that len's largest of f/3.5 (or f5.6 if you were zoomed in to take this shot). That would have caused the background to be much more out of focus and made your subject stand out much more. The focus is nice, but the image is too dark, at least it is on my monitor. Have a look at the histogram and see where the bell curve falls, if it's too far to the left, then the image is too dark.

...he knows all the chords. Very nice histogram - you got them reacting on both ends ;-)

Excellent! The shot glass of matches on the left is a very nice touch. Gives you a feel for the effort this shot took.

I really like the blurred background and the colours on the spider. Great capture!

Needs better focus on the spiders.

Interesting picture, but the background isn't quite blurred enough to avoid distraction The very bright patch draws the eye away from the top spider.
