I've taken shots almost exactly like this a couple of years ago. Getting closer would have been more "intimate". One big problem: the challenge calls for INSECTS, and this is an ARACHNID. Don't try to act like you don't know the difference.
Great composition. Amazing picture of a spider. I like how the bottom of the picture is bright and the hole that its coming out of is really dark. Focusing is really good. Great to see the hairyness of it.
Kinda cool tunnel the spider has built there. Nice focus on the spider, I'd love to see it being more dominant in the shot. Maybe cropping from the bottom and a bit from the top of the pic and turning it into a landscape?
Btw, since there's the hot discussion going on, I feel spiders are within the challenge guidelines and any score I give is purely based on the photo quality. Just thought I should add that. :)
