i am severely arachnophobic...to the point that i will hurt myself or you trying to get away from a spider...to the point that i generally can't even look at a photo of one. i have to say, though, this is absolutely the best spider photo i have ever seen. the mood is very creepy but also very beautiful. very surprising that it is so striking to me and also very surprising to me that it goes straight to my faves. nice work!! :)
Just wanted to say I really like the overall feel and tone of this. A healthy dose of contrast really makes this work. The composition is right on. Well seen and captured. Good luck in the challenge.
I don't like spiders by any means, but you have a nice image. I really like the background. It helps me focus on your subject. Nice composition as well.
Beautiful, really love this! Not the genre of photography I go for, but I can really appreciate this very much. I'd be very proud to have taken this myself, well done. 9 and my top rated of the study!!!
