A friend of mine used to have one of these for a pet. It was as dumb as he was. Very good capture.

Very interesting treatment of this fear. It might have been a little more effective if the color of the skin on the lower lid was more normal. As it is it's a good almost abstract design, but it doesn't tell your story with enough power.

Bee Attack (live bee)

Nicely done. One of the few macro photos in this challenge that have enough DOF to show the subject well.

I know it's hard to do, but it would have beeen nice if you were to have more DOF. Nice picture though. Shey.

Your use of color and effects really increases the feeling of vertigo here. Shey.

This might be the photo that was commented on in the forums. If so, I don't see you making light of the situation at all. As a matter of fact, you did one of the best jobs of telling a story, not just taking a picture of a spider. Shey.

Excellent idea, well executed. I'll have to remember this.

Inner Focus

Watch your light sources and your focus. The stones would be a lot more effective with ultra sharp focus and DOF, and you would have had better lighting if you had used a softer source. Maybe bouncing the flash off the ceiling, or shielding the stones with a thin layer of white cloth or translucent plastic. It would have eliminated the hot spots that are a bit distracting, and if the light wern't too soft you still would have had the definition. I like the design very much, and there is a lot that is interesting in your photo. Paul.
