This a nice macro portrait of an eye but I don't see the unusual viewpoint. It is a pretty direct viewpoint, actually. I suppose one could argue that you were unusually close to the subject but that would be stretching the notion, in my opinion.

Comment by Pedro:
The first thing I notice off the bat is the subject is not all that enticing. real spiders maybe, plasitc ones...not so much. secondly the surface that it sits on is a very difficult one to expose properly because of all the shiny bits. You get lots of little blown out reflections, and it generally will underexpose your subject because of the huge contrast between it and the surface.
On the plus side, your DOF is nice, focus on the middle is sharp, and you've controlled the lighting on the object nicely.
as for meeting the challenge, some of the anal-ysts will get you because they won't look at the abdomen as the focal point, they choose the sternum and tell you you're not in the centre. tough to meet the challenge in this case using that perspective on the spider.
Hope this helps. Sometimes you have to be around DPC awhile before you get the voters figured out. of course, just when i think I've got them figured out i get hammered anyway, but whaddevah. :)

The moustache is very distracting unfortunately - it would be a nicer image with a female model :) I wouldn't call brushing my teeth a habit ...
