I've taken shots almost exactly like this a couple of years ago. Getting closer would have been more "intimate". One big problem: the challenge calls for INSECTS, and this is an ARACHNID. Don't try to act like you don't know the difference.

I don't like spideers, but this is a fascinating picture. Is it a wolf spider?

This is a really scary shot! Very dramatic and interesting.

Great composition. Amazing picture of a spider. I like how the bottom of the picture is bright and the hole that its coming out of is really dark. Focusing is really good. Great to see the hairyness of it.

I would have cropped the bottom a little, just a little to much web for me, I like the black in the background, gives it kind of a spooky look.

Kinda cool tunnel the spider has built there. Nice focus on the spider, I'd love to see it being more dominant in the shot. Maybe cropping from the bottom and a bit from the top of the pic and turning it into a landscape?

Btw, since there's the hot discussion going on, I feel spiders are within the challenge guidelines and any score I give is purely based on the photo quality. Just thought I should add that. :)

Not considered an insect

Another spider. "insects" are the subject...

This is a great pose. I like the dark to light from top to bottom, but I think it could use a little more cropping at the bottom.

Spiders aren't insects. Also, a little more focus would have helped. I like the wave-effect of the very dense net, though.
