I like spiders! Not sure why this one scored so low. Perhaps it's the light of the speedlite. Although nice, it can't beat the sun.

shame you got such a low score for such an excellent macro ..
you really take a risk entering insect, spider and creepy crawly shots in a challenge .. some of the best images can bomb out .. some ppl just arent into them and vote accordingly ..
i love the nearly metallic looking background, so soft and delicate that highlights your spider so well .. love the wispy web surrounding him .. its a great shot .. :)

Excellent capture and composition. I love the soft pastel greens and fawn-brown colors. Lovely dof with just the right amount of detail in the main subject. It's also great how you got him just as he was looking you right in the lens.

Ew; it's hairy and everything! I can practically see blood dripping off of it's fangs!!

It's positioned appropriately for the challenge and I like the DOF and detail (ignoring the fact that it's a SPIDER). I didn't vote in this one, but this looks like a 6 to me. Maybe tilt it a little more to the left and it would make more people think of it as upside down.

This was one of my faves from the start from a technical point of view and that 9 on the chart was given by me.

I think it's a great shot. As far as the challenge goes, I didn't vote, but I would lean toward a DNMC score (5-ish) because technically spiders really can't be upside down - unless they were on their back, IMO. Not a blatant DNMC, but I'd put it there with people who rotated their camera or photo 180°. Call me a nitpicking, narrow minded troll. :)

I really like this photo, great bokeh and the spiderweb fades away awesomely. Voters have issues sometimes...
