Found this spider making a home inside this brilliantly colorful rose. (Yes, the color saturation really was so strong.)

composition well done. Slight softness of the petals works very well. For me, if the depth of field were a little larger, bringing the spider into better focus, it would be a better image. I know - almost an impossibility in the situation you have here. Maybe if he was a little darker - not sure - but the rose vastly outweighs him visually so he doesn't really hold my attention.
how yo udon't see that very often...and since it's not your basic snapshot of a rose or any flower for that matter...you do have a purpose...I give you a 9
Very intresting and nicely captured. My only complaint is that the spider is lost in the depth of field that you used. Beautiful colors and nice exposure.
