Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: 200

 Taken in the same shoot as my Bokeh IV entry. I like this shot better, but the bokeh was better in the other one.

Post processing...
* rotate 170 degrees (Judging by the direction of the light, I think the spider was actually hanging vertically with his back end in the air, but the original jpeg had him upside down horizontally. I was shooting handheld at an odd angle.)
* crop so it's rectangular again
* NeatImage
* resize
* sharpen
* save for web

Though I don't have arachnaphobia, I'm not a big spider fan. That aside however, this is a good closeup shot. I like the lighting.

This looks like an outtake from an earlier ribbon winner. And a good choice as well. Excellent DOF and very pleasing colors. I hope this does well for you.
