ahhh, I hate when I see a spider in the shower. I like the light in the tub but I don't care so much for the shadow.

terror. hehehe.

OMG!! That's creepy. I'm sorry for whoever was getting ready to take a bath!

Overall photo is a bit small but the picture is focused.

Nice tilt adds to the terror. Closer and more detail on the spider would create more terror, but maybe you were too terrified to do that.

Looks like a scene from arachnophobia. nice lighting BTW

Dang I hate those things - they run at 100 mph. Hope you washed him down the drain!

that's what the water is for ... getting rid of those icky things ... nice job controlling the lighting ... good composition ... hope you squished him or washed him down the drain ...

I would NEVER bathe again!

holy moly! that looks like a very large spider... assuming it is real, nice capture of the challenge - pure!

A very good and humorous image that meets the challenge well. However, in my (limited) experience. Humour does not do very well in DPC unless executed to perfection (I say this from my own experience) and you may well suffer in terms of voting because of some very minor issues that would probably be overlooked in a more conservative shot. The plug, plughole and shower tubing all help to give the image excellent context, but small things such as the shadows, the hot spots from the reflection of the light and even possibly the fact that the plughole does not glisten like a new penny will probably cost you votes. Possibly could have even done with slightly more zoom (or cropping) to focus solely on the plug spider etc and reduction of the bath itself.

From my own perspective I like this image a lot and have scored it 8, however the ideas I have suggested (yet often fail to execute myself) would I believe see this move from what I am guessing would be a 5 score to a 6+

Hope this comment does not seem too self important/indulgent its simply made because I love this type of picture and would love to see it front page come rollover day

Cute spider!
06/14/2007 07:13:42 PM
eww! that thing is huge!
06/14/2007 01:28:08 PM
Very cute!

I feel for ya. Those little buggers can be quite terrifying. A closer crop on the spider would make this more interesting.

The subject is way too small.
