Cute. I like the addition of the candle & vignetted edges. Commenting only.

I trust the spider enjoyed the shower. She stayed put, anyway! Really rather lovely.

hmm I thought this would have scored higher. I am not a big fan of bug pics but this is quite beautiful and almost entrancing. I found it interesting that a yucky bug could live in such a pretty place ;)

Nicely done-- Did you use a second light source for the pool of light or was that skillful editing? Either way, I expect it to finish high.

A very nice studio shot. It does however suffer from slight overexposure (the glove is burned out on my calibrated monitor) and the main light is too high. See how the shadow from the nose goes all the way down her face to the bottom of her chin? It should go so far as to touch the lips. Nice job on the fill light and a nice job lighting the white backdrop. The model has a great expression, although it is generally a good idea to ask them to just barely touch the hand to the face, not put any weight on it becuase it distorts the facial features a bit.

Overall a very nice shot. 6

I am not a bug picture kinda guy, and not a spider kinda guy either--but this is a spectacularly well done image, bright and beautiful--almost a celebration. Luminous color and perfect bokeh. Re-viewing leads me to bump from a 7 to a 9. (and I am also starting to itch here and there, dang it!)
