Nice picture, colors are nice and it's creative. However, I think after a while you kind of get less interested in it. Good job though.

Garden Spider ala Jimmy's suggestions

Comment by SJCarter:
MUCH better IMHO! :-) Of course, how could I claim less with a title like that?!?! LOL But in all honesty, I can see so much more detail on the spider herself and it really brings home the power of these formidable creatures. It's interesting how the DOF worked in a closer version - I would have expected more detail from the zigzag area, but it actually works more blurred. The detail in the top portion of the web is superb! SEE! I knew it was there! LOL Thanks for taking my suggestion and making my day (regardless of whether or not anyone else likes it!). ;-)

EDIT: And see! I didn't even realize she had something for dinner on the stove - but now I can see that she's stowed something away for her next meal! LOL

Beautiful composition and lovely action shot. The snow really adds to the appeal of this image. From what I can ascertain, it looks flawless...

Okay, here's a prime example of what I've been trying to convey about the size and borders of your images. I can tell that this focus is spot-on perfect. The sharpness is great. But I just can't see enough of it, causing me to miss out on the full impact that such a beautiful shot can make. Sure, the twig has some blown highlights, but that's not something that a little burning couldn't fix and is moreover really not a factor with such a wonderful capture. I would strongly recommend utilizing the full 640 pixel maximum to show off your images to their fullest. You can add the border, copyright, and signature information to your printable images without losing the ability to show them as thumbnails separately. As is (IMHO - mind you), you are cheating yourself out of many viewers praise by limiting the breadth & depth of your truly great captures. You've got some great stuff here - show it off! Just my 2 cents... :-)

VERY cool photo! I've seen these little guys only a few times in my life, but they are amazing. Great DOF and focus. Composition is good too - as is the lighting. You might consider cloning or blending out the brighter areas of the background though - I think they take the viewer's eye away from the main subject matter. Great capture!

Again, it's a size thing (yes, I know it's a unisex disease - lol). Don't know if your borders are consuming the balance of the 640 max pixel limit or if you are choosing to display slightly smaller images, but IMHO it is taking away from some very nice shots in your portfolio. Because of the smaller image size, the viewer can't appreciate all of the wonderful things you've captured! This particular shot being one of them. Great composition, tones, focus (from what I can tell), DOF, and composition - (the centered thing works well here). I just wish I could see him more closely. I also would suggest the black format of your borders for this shot.
