Very good "Close-Up" of an extremely large spider with a "non-macro" lens. Great use of your gear. Super colour and sharpness, perfect DOF and Copo. Well Done 7. On the "art" front I'm not so convinced though, Mother Nature would beg to differ though.

Beautiful image! i hate insects.... i'd be moer likely to squash this little guy with something that is not a bodily appendage before i'd think "let me get my camera". Kudos for capturing a great shot

Sharp focus on the spider. I like that. But still... something seems lacking.

Perhaps if the crop were closer, making the scene more... intimate?

Great macro shot. Love the colors... the detail... the fact that most people wouldn't find this beautiful (as I am one of them), but somehow, you've managed to make the shot beautiful! Very well done.
