We don't have these spiders in Newfoundland and I'm glad! You were brave to take this photo.

I think this was way under-rated. . . I really appreciated this photo. Marjo has a point, but I had to stare for a while to see it.

Nice comp and capture. (You may want to calibrate your monitor because the dodging is very obvious.)

Great Idea, Execution and Composition. The only reason I will not favorite this is that my slight Arachnapobia will smack me everytime I look at my faves. : )

Poor thing is missing a few legs. Harsh photo, but somehow suits the subject matter. I'd prefer more of a background/environment, but that's a personal taste kinda thing.

Good job...I would have been too scared to get near it.

I gave this photo a 9 because it is an amazing capture, but it gives me the creepy-crawlies. :) Probably not an image I would choose to hang on my wall, but would be great in a nature magazine!
