Lycosidae sp.

Comment:
A little broader depth of field would have been nice, center of subject in good focus. This is an interestesting angle, and a higher one wouldn't have been as in your face scary, but I still wonder what the back half of this guy looks like. 2nd best spider shot. 8 Swash

Rubber Spider

Comment:
Willies! This is a real one, isn't it? What is the background? I would have liked a broader field of view (ends of legs out of focus) and the whole spider.

Bizarre coloration, hard to "see" at first. Excellent composition, I hope others take the time to "figure this one out". 8 Swash

Very sad idea, and well portrayed. (a leg barely hanging in the window frame would have given you more immediateness, but really good!) I could see where this could be poorly received. I disagree. 8 Swash

Sample in a Jar

Comment:
Is her name Sample? Very artistic. The woman's face appears as if it were drawn, not photographed. Don't like the shadows on the glass. This would have been really cool cropped just to her face, but then nobody would have gotten this. Photo 9 Transparency 9 total 9 swash

Cardigan

Comment:
The sweater creates an interesting pattern, but I still think this is "side stepping" the challenge. Technically speaking, you are shooting the air holes between the materiel of the sweater. Now, I think about it, I scored the chiffon shots well, O.K. I am going to change my mind and go with this, but it's pushing it.
