Sweet spidy pic! WOW he has A LOT of eyes! I had never heard of a rainspider before this moment and now I simply MUST go and look it up :P I love the depth, clarity, colour, and focus! The crop is perfect IMHO because I like to be drawn to an insects' face and not be studying the rest of the body so much... good use of DOF is a nice way of accomplishing this too... as you already know :)

Gorgeous colours and I like the corner composition. I just find the big dark 'blob' a bit distracting.
