Wow, I love this image. I think the lighting on here is perfect, just enough shadow to add mystery. Fills the space in a nice way, not too overbearing. It may be ordinary driftwood but it really caught my attention and interest quickly. I also like the fact that there isn't a distracting border pulling my eyes away. Very simple but dramatic piece. 10

Nice idea.
I think color would have had more impact by being able to see the grain better in the wood.

The spider's nice; the background makes the picture, imho. Nice!

Like the orange and red/pink blurry background. Nice focus on the spider to.

Nice macro! I like that you were able to capture both the spider and the web in good focus, and that the background is nicely out of focus AND has pleasing colors in it. Also, the composition is working quite well, I think.
