Wow! Very well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, amazing details! Nice close view that makes me so glad I am viewing this on my screen instead of in person! Well exposed, the colors and tones appear natural. Well presented! Best to you in the contest!

Wow! Even scarier than normal. Great macro shot. Full of great detail, razor sharp focus, a little depth of field and good framing of subject matter.

Wow, he is scary and ugly

the focus is amazing, but the colors and contrast need some adjust, the whole photo looks very bright and pale

thanks for sharing

Wow. What a dramatic image of this spider. The details are quite amazing as the focus is pinpoint sharp. The colors are very well rendered and nicely saturated. Certainly a powerful photo for the contest. Best of fortune in the contest Mike ~ Steve

A very fine shot with quite good depth of field considering the degree of magnification. The spider is meticulously sharp and the colors are great. Should be a contender in this contest.
