This was really hard to get in focus. The web was stretched from a tree to the ground (maybe eight feet below!). So it kept blowing in the breeze. I got others in better focus but not of him actually spinning the web. Oh well.

Very funny :-) Creative title! It also fits to the challenge very good. The focus is a bit strange. I understand the the spider is blurred and that's actually a nice hint that she is busy with her work. But parts of the web (lower left side) have a good focus while other parts like the center of the web or the lower right side are blurred. I would have liked ot much more when the whole web was in fucus. A smaller aperture could have helped. The lighting is very good. -stephan
I love pictures of spiders, and although I know the focus is on the "new" web, I think the spider needs to be more in focus. And maybe cropped more closely to the focal point.
A little fuzzy on the spider, but a wonderful catch. I don't know how close your cam can go, but it would have been interesting to see the web spinning more closely. Challenge well met. This is a 9. Swash
I wanted so badly to score this higher than I did because I really like the composition. I had to take off points mainly because of the focus not being on the spider as the subject. The color of the background is good and compliments well with the color of the spider. The bright spot of the web center in the upper left is a little bit distracting too but may be less so if in focus. Was this shot in your camera's macro mode or not? I kind of get the feeling it wasn't or if it was you may have been out of it's effective macro focus range. Score: 5 Courtenay
Catchy title. This is a really neat photo. Not only is it a new web, it's a new house, and new dining room table, and a new fridge. Congrats and good luck.
