i've taken lots of pics of this spider, which has been in my garden now for about a month,, just moves its web to different parts of the fence... lol..

thought it would be a great subject for the shallow depth of field..

Brilliant focus on the spider. Just such a pity about the distracting white vertical stripe. Still a 7 from me.

The highlight cuts the image and makes the left side redundant for me. Perhaps a square crop of the right side...?

Love the detail on him, great job!

Excellent DOF and composition. The white stripe in the centre is a bit distracting thoug. Still gets 8/10 from me.

Egads; another spider! Great detail on him and the center of the web. I'd try a slightly different angle if possible to eliminate the bright line (wall or corner?) and/or straighten the line (it's not quite vertical and not at enough of an angle for that to look purposeful).

I think it might be better cropped to eliminate the bright band of light.Otherwise it is a great shot.

I like the picture and the detail of the spider. The white line on the left is distracting and (IMO) distracting to the image.
