Sorry!! I had to vote a 1 here though. My reason was that your photograph didn't show any distinct foreground or background framing of your main subject. Essentially your subject is in the same plane as your frame.



Per this comment, and this comment, plus a private message, I have decided to give you a new score, It is now a 4 for the other qualities of this image (despite what I feel is still a DNMC image). Now go thank Bear_Music for he does make good sense sometimes, or at least inspires me to be a bit more open minded (or at least punish people slightly less for what I see as either shoehorning or a failure to take a reasonably literal interpretation of the rules..)

guess you will be penalized for the title. No vote, only comment

I like the title, and the way the spider is climbing the stick almost makes the title horribly depressing (since it's a dead-end), but I think this is an interesting shot. I like how the shot has zero background, and the DoF is pretty great.
