Spiders short of creep me out, but this one deserves a 6 rating.

The foreground web is sharp with the background fading to blur. I take this web actually as a leading line(s) to the subject. Nice placement of the subject.

Yeah? So where is the pig? lol,,just teasing.. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this spider on the web is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Nice shot in difficult situation. I really like the spider web caught with sharp focus and clarity. Good angle on the spider and nice background bokeh. Well done and good luck in the contest :-)

Nice entry for this contest! I am relieved that I am viewing this one on my screen rather than in person.
The spider is well placed within the frame up on the left on the diagonal, the web is impressive . Well focused, this image is clear and your exposure brings forward natural colors and tones.
Well composed in the square format. Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

The play of light and shadow on the web adds depth and dimension to the photograph. The choice of shallow depth of field in this photo creates a dreamy, ethereal quality that enhances the flower's charm. Well done. Good luck!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that pretty spider and its location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Oh dear this one was hard to look at as I am a confirmed arachnophobe. Your photograph is perfect for the contest. The lighting on the beads of moisture on the web and the spider really make them stand out. The narrow depth of field also works well for the same reason. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

    You and my husband! Ref., "Arachnophobe". He was away when I independently went to admire these spiders. Thank you for this kind review.
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


First, I want to congratulate you on such a wonderful visual. This seems to be winner in my books. However, you are very brave. I don't think I'd want to wander into a place that has run around spiders. Composition shades tones colours are very well done and presented. Thank you for sharing.
