A very cool photo! I like it. A very liberal interpretation of the, "from the ground up" challenge. It will be interesting to see what the voters will think. Good Luck!!

Part of the challenge of showing somethign from the persective of the ground up is actually showing that the persepctive is from the ground up. I give benefit of the doubt that you were standing underneath this bug and shot upwards but the angles of the web strands, the fact that there is a fly on the right hanging 'down' - all these things really give the impression that this was pretty much shot straight on horizontally. Little more DOF would be nice to make out more of the web. Hard to make out anything on the spider itself other than the yellow blob on the back. Overall nothing to really interest the viewer here or move the eye around the shot. Biggest drawback though is the perspective thing. Good effort.

On my monitor the image is a bit dark. But overall a good shot and good idea. Good luck.

DOF could be opened up to include your main subject- the tear.

Nice up close and personal shot. I looks like it was rotated in post (observation not criticism). I like the deep green in the background (although it has some noise). The curve of the nose keeps bringing attention back to the eye. Nice job.

Very well done! Almost too close, and I mean almost. This really is quite spectacular.
