I would be afraid to come across someone like this because... big spiders creep me out haha. But this picture here, not so much. I actually can enjoy the coloration of his legs and how fuzzy he looks haha. Thanks for sharing!

WOW. This is a really nice photo of a spider. The details on the spider are wonderful. Very crisp and clear, you are able to see the little hairs on his legs and body. Having all the web in the picture really adds to the feel of the shot. I like that you have left the color true to the original scene. Nice arrangement with the spider slightly off center. Great photo. Thanks for sharing.

Love the title! What detail you managed to capture and you've used great lines in the composition. The upward jutting leaves really point to "Harry" and the finer (but well seen) lines from the web take the eye to the top of the photo. As to Harry, you have really some wonderful detail with even the very smallest of leg hair coming through and in focus. I like the out-of-focus tree in the background which adds a deeper green to contrast with orange and black of the spider. Great shot.

This is definately a Cringe for me! I hate spiders and this one is so hairy and big. You captured it with excellent sharp focus, ligthing and framing. Good luck in the contest!:)

Aww he looks so cute and hairy - shame you didn't get the head but understand if you moved the leaf it might get distracted and run, well one of you would have run :). Like the way you caught part of his web too. Good color and focus.

Comment from Brian B
Wow, really nice closeup of this spider. You have captured good detail of his legs and furry body. You can tell by the image, he is busy wrapping something up for dinner. Good framing of the bright green leaves.

Hey it looks like that this guy is giving a pose for you, as if looking directly at the camera and waving his hand :) Very good close up shot. You caught very good details like the spider web...

Not a fan of spiders, but great picture. The natural colors seem good, the contrast between spider and leaves add a great focal point. Great depth of field. Awesome!

Very well presented with super focus, dof and the low light exposure turned out great on this hairy little one. A top submission.
