Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a very good image, your voting histo reflects that. I'm also a fan of backlighting and the colours are great and autumnal. The pic isn't heavily processed, which always wins brownie points from me. Composition is straightforward and not too tightly cropped.
Only problem is, even the very best pic of a subject most people don't care for so much, so up close, is a very tough sell here. Cutesy critters like puppies and kittens? Yes. A dramatically coloured macaw or a tiger swimming after a chunk of meat tossed in water? Oh yes. But reptiles, insects and arachnids rarely do well.
However, had I voted I would have given it a 6, and that's because the top shadowed part of the abdomen looks to be out of focus. Had it been in focus - and maybe just going to f7.1 or f.8 would have done it, especially as you were at an ISO of 400, so had lots of light to play with. And as spider's not moving you could have slowed the shutter down a bit if you wanted to cheat in a little more light.
Hope this has been helpful, feel free to PM me
