I took these last weekend. The spider is a common garden spider. and it was pretty big. the 4-5 cm long grasshoper halps give a sense of scale.

I'm thinking about submitting these to a contest or two, but I can't pick which one or two to use.

Thank's for you opinions/advice!

Nicely done, Mark. Nice Depth of Field, good color saturation. My favorite is number 1. I like number 5, too, but there is a bit of what looks like glare ( or possibly lens flare ) in the middle upper right of that photo. ( The same in number 1, but not as noticable there )Number 4 is nice, but is a bit top heavy. It might be possible to crop it with good results - everything else about that frame is great. Good luck in the contest - you should do well.
