Lighting here is a bit harsh, but framing and subject are great.

It's a shame about the flare (& ghosting?)

Very nice POV. Makes the photo very interesting.

Like the colours. The composition feels off balance in the vertical orientation. Putting it horizontal with the edge of the web along the diagonal I think would make it feel more balanced.

Yuck, spider Quick kill it..
like the strong backlighting and the touch of flare...

Very cool shot. The spider looks awesome. Wish the rest was a little bit clearer.

I think its the sun but there's too much of a soft element to this

Nice POV on the spider, I'm guessing you didn't use a lens hood as the light reflections affected the contrast in the image.

Image is a bit light but a nice shot.

seems just a little overexposed

Nice photo, Spider could have been just a bit sharper
03/15/2009 09:26:51 AMPost actions
a bit flat, need contrast and better sharpness - 5

Unnatural looking somehow. Must be due to the processing.
03/15/2009 05:20:02 AMPost actions
unusual picture , I like the light yet maybe bit less exposed or higher contrast would be better (for me ;)
I give 7(or 8? :D we'll see...

Neat perspective and a cool find. Photo seems over exposed and washed out, though.

neat the way you caught the sunlight

I really like the composition in this. However, it seems a bit overexposed, which can work sometimes, but I find myself looking at it wanting to see a bit more definition on the spider. It kinda looks like I am looking through glass.

Looks like this was shot through a window.. too soft overall
03/14/2009 04:13:13 PMPost actions
I like the composition a lot.

Cool shot using the natural light. Good composition.

Post processing could have been done a little differently. Insufficient contrast to me. Inroduce darker tones into this shot while keeping the highlights and see if you like it more, 6

I like the rays of light coming through

Spiders are pretty hard to photograph well. You've got a good subject here. A bit more contrast would show him(her) off to better advantage.

The soft hues and highlights really play of this sharp image extremely well!

Nice light. I like your PoV.

A little flat in focus and color but very nice subject!

too light/needs contrast!

She dances lightly on her silken ballroom.

Its well taken but the way the web is catching all the light distracts from the well focused spider

Wow, love this one, and in my opinion if the picture could be tilted a little would add to it. Unfortunately the flare is not helping here. Even so, an amazing picture.

Good shot although a darker background would have highlighted the spider much more.

Good composure, but I think the shot could have benefited from a little extra processing (even if it was just Auto-Levels).
03/11/2009 09:36:14 PMPost actions
your colors and tones are flat/dull...did you do curves/levels?
03/11/2009 07:28:47 PMPost actions
Very interesting, I like the detail you were able to capture on the spider. I would have liked it better with a little more contrast, but that's just my opinion.
03/11/2009 07:07:24 PMPost actions
Im not a big fan of spiders, but this is a good shot. I like your choice of angle, to capture a bit of the web in focus.

The lighting is washing the photo out a little. Immediately when I looked at your photo, I thought "I bet this would rock in B&W". If you converted it, the lighting would probably make the spider stand out more. Cool photo though!

Picture looks very faded. Some contrast and sharpening would help.

I really like this. The colors are beautiful!

Feels a little flat overall.

cool capture, need a bit more contrast
