Hello Amanda from the Critique Club,
Composition
Well spotted - makes a dramatic image. Like the way the tower leaps away from you and the rule of thirds works well in forcing one's eyes back to the "spider" image. The blue splash near the top of the tower provides interest and balance to what otherwise might have been bottom heavy. I guess this must have been taken tripod mounted (if you didn't you kept very still!) and the 1600 ISO creates just a tiny haze of noise centre left but this camera is fantastic - I have a EOS 300D too and love it.
Focus
You don't say what lens you used but it must have had a short focal length because the whole image is well focused - an achievement at f/4.0
Exposure
Tricky to take night scenes - you have done well - there are the tiniest amount of blown highlights and they don't matter - no loss of important detail and the balance of gold spider against the blue lights is just right.
Challenge
Very few submissions really met the challenge - yours was one of them (IMHO)!
Overall
A dramatic image, well captured, scoring very nearly 6. What more could you want? A higher score? Well that is in the hands of the audience and that is often beyond comprehension. Well done!

| This came out really nice, Amanda! I have a very similar shot, as you know, but it had so much noise compared to yours. I can't wait to get my hands on that Canon! Very good shot. :-) |

| Thanks to PhilipDyer for pointing this spot out! It just goes to show you, pictures of aligators eating cars will fail miserably, but if you can get a giant spider to attack a skyscraper in Tokyo, thems the goods ;-). |

| With egg sacks too. I like the angle of this shot. Somehow the lighting works fairly well also although there is a bit of blurr top left of spider. |
