Creepy. Good close-up detail but couls use a bit more light. I like the effect created by the 'forest' of legs. Not sure about the red background, though.

Great job at getting close, but the red fabric makes it look obviously staged. The image needs some serious enhancement to it's tonal range. Could use some sharpening, also.

Very good detail. The red bg helps it stand out too.

Great close-up of the spider. The red takes away from the picture, however, since it draws the eye.

You get an extra point for even attempting to take that thing's picture.

I am spider phobic and have always thought a Tarantula would just be too much to handle (I think this is one) but this image is wonderful...little beady eyes and furry texture ...to bad the focus coudln't have been a little sharper
