 Okay, I am working on my photoshop skills. This is the original Big Daddy Photo with the following changes:

Sharpened up and increased contrast on some of the legs.
Crop to move focal point slightly.
Color overlay on spider and background.
Dodge and burn just a TINY bit.
Beetle has had contrast increased just a TAD.
Body of spider sharpened and color (red) increased just a BIT.
I would love feedback on the changes I have made...
Better?
Worse?
Total crud?
etc...

I like the editing, the crop definitely works, the one leg that goes out to the right that's blurry is a little distracting, might try to either clone it to make it more clear or zoom way in on it & try to darken the leg itself (just my 2 cents...). I think the bump of red helped define the body of the grand-daddy...
IMO overall i'd say the editing is better :)
