I think in terms of composition, this is one of the best spider shots this week. Looks like it may have been shot with a flash which kind of blows out the contrast. Also looks like you either have a lower end camera or you had to blow this up significantly for it to fill the frame -- it's very grainy and so you lose a lot of the fine detail.
To see one of these would probably scare the majority of us, but your picture seems to make him out to be a nice guy with a smile on his face. What is that extra body part in the upper right of the photo? I would have like to see a clearer shot, and you lost some composition when you tried to make him look bigger and chopped off his legs. a 4 by Autool
Grainy! Sorry if you have a low end camera. Start with more light. Next, don't crop off his poor legs, he only has eight of them. A stronger contrasting background would not hurt either. 6 Swash
Yuck, that's scary. It would have been a great shot if it was crawling up someone who looked terrified. By itself it does not really show fear but still kind of cool so I won't score you low.
YEECCCKKK, I normally don't mind spiders, but then again, I normally am not looking at them eye-to-eye, either. If possible, a sharper focus might have helped 'cause it looks a little fuzzy (the focus, not the spider) to me. Of course, that might have meant you needed to get closer, and I can understand why you didn't. karmat
Good shot! I just wish there was less noise in the photo. I'm guessing you had to use a high ISO to get a good enough shutter speed, but a despeckle filter in photoshop or equivalent might help a bit.
This is one of the better spider shots in this challenge. I like the head on view so you can see his beady little eyes :) The shot looks a little grainy... I also have a minor problem with the crop. I would have either tried to get closer to the main body of the spider or I would have tried to include the whole spider. Some of the legs being cropped out without all of them being cropped puzzles me a little :) Good shot! = 6 - jmsetzler
meeting challenge = 5 (I don't mind spiders but I wouldn't want to run into this guy anywhere) photo quality = 3 seems a bit blury and out of focus. total = 8
