Hi Bob. Yuk, I hate spiders. the photo is good. The DOF is excellent, and the exposure is also good. I probably would have tried for a tighter crop or a little bit more zoom in order to get the "dirt" on the left (looks like dead bugs) out of the photo and to get the spider off-center.

Maybe a tighter crop for this, the right side (dinner) is a bit of a distraction. Over all I like this entry. Good luck. 8
