 This is Black Mumba, my little brother's spider which he's had for about a year and half now (wow that's a long time for a bug!).
This was by far the most dangerous picture I've ever taken- on account of that I had to be about 2 inches away from an uncaged poisoness creepy crawly :) I think the pic turned out nicely for how jumpy I was.

I know the feeling when it comes to getting close to creepy creatures. Here's a link to a shot I entered some time back...

I would not particularly care for a close encounter with either critter, to tell the truth.

A nice image. Did not even realize it was a reflection. There is some apparent noise, but all in all an impressive silhoutte. Bumping up.

Grainy and blurry. For something like this, sharpness is highly important.

I love this interpretation & composition. I do wish it were a bit more in focus, though.
