A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

I like this shot - there was clearly a lot of effort put into the set-up and I can understand your disappointment. Nice use of a gelled flash.

In terms of what went wrong - my first thought would be that the title is slightly confusing - there is no door immediately obvious that you might be referring to. This leads to the next point that I'm not really sure where I should be looking here, there isn't really an obvious focal point. The fat spider is probably the most obvious point, but there are too many distracting details in the rest of the frame to really draw you into it. I feel that the bottom and right hand thirds of the shot could have been cropped out. Also (and please don't take this the wrong way) - the spiders do look very obviously fake and not really all that scary - I HATE spiders but these ones look quite cuddly. Hope this was helpful!
