Great colours, DOF and lighting. :-) The image could be a bit bigger, but I like what I see.

I'm sorry to repeat what I imagine you've heard over and over so far, but the wording of the challenge was very specific and I can't how this would fit it. It's very nicely composed and lit, but the score probably won't reflect that.
Note : If you can document that this creature fits into the challenge, please email me and I'll reconsider my vote... myqyl@e-clark.us

The challenge was very specific about what was considered wildlife. This wasn't one of the choices.

Great balancing act. Like the color, and the background lighting is exceptional. Maybe a bit sharper focus on the spider body. That is being picky.

Challenge rules say: non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. It is none of those, but a very nice image nonetheless.

Interesting macro. Back leg is a little blurry, DOF could have been deeper.
