Lovely translucency and powerful shadow. Elegant and effective, and could hardly be better. Love it.

Very nice. This image has the extra bonus of the spider while the rest meets the challenge. Bumping up.

Nice!

Wow. Either that is one big spider or one small leaf but the impression is "watch out for that spider!" Great!

nice picture!

I don't believe that's a real spider - but beautiful color. Wish there was some color in the background, but that would just make it different, not neccesarily better. -

I'm guessing the spider is fake - but clever idea!

Ha ha - I was going to say DNMC from the thumbnail, but obviously you did! (9, only because the spider doesn't look real, even if it is.)

Yikes! Is he real? Good concept!
