I think this would have looked better if the spider was not so central. Maybe you could have cropped the bottom off and the left, for example, so the spider was in the bottom left of the picture to give a nicer balance. Good picture of the spider, though and good colours. 6
Yeeeeep! ..... yeeeeep. Eeeeeep.
I maybe would have prefered a tighter crop, to have the spider be even more (shudder) prominant. I like the "pose" of the spider.
I love spiders! Unfortunately you did not get the focus right, she is a little blurred. It is also good to try and get the backgroud to be less distracting. Maybe hold a cardboard behind the critter or something.
Not an oxymoron, IMO, to be afraid of beautiful things. Quite possible! Like the focus on the spider but would prefer a little more sharpness to really highlight the details. Even though I hate spiders ;-)
It's fun seeing the small flies caught in the web. :) As for your spider, I think it's not focused quite sharp enough and since that's what your main subject is you could also bring it in substantially closer. The spider has some excellent color in it that would really pop if this was shot as more of a macro image (and exposure moved up a notch or two). The background is distracting. Yes, it's blurred some by the DOF, but it's still identifiable and takes the viewer away from the core subject. Again, a tighter macro type shot would eliminate the unneeded background. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
Spiders are hard to shoot, and spiderwebs are even harder. This isn't especially sharp, and the background's pretty distracting. The lighting is also pretty dim. Keep trying this kind of thing, though - it takes a lot of shots to get a good one! :)
