awesome shot, its a shame advanced editing wasn't enabled for this challange so you could take out the bits of webbing around his feet. draws away from the overall effect. perfect framing though ;)
I think this image could've done with a little less of the large leaf on the left. Good sense of framing, but emphasis here is on the frame itself rather than the background.
Definitely the most creative use of framing in my opinion. I only wish you had been able to get a bit more DOF to get the foreground leaves a bit sharper. Congrats on the ingenius photo!
Good idea, I think if you would have cropped out the leaf at the left and some of the top to make the spider more obviously the frame it would fit the challenge better.
