Thought I'm not certain, this photo looks somewhat backlit, creating a good contrast between the web and the background (though this might not have fit everyone's definition of HC).

Unfortunately, the harsh lighting also seems to blow out some detail on the spider. That, combined with the fact that the focus doesn't look quite spot on (or it the lens just soft?) probably contributed to the lowish score that you received. The composition and interest are there, but the lighting wasn't particularly in your favor. Still a good effort, and better luck next time :)

For me, the soft background detracts from the overall "high contrast." Interesting markings on the spider though.

Good job on bringing the web out and highlighting the spider. Scary.

Nice shot although I feel the contrast of light and dark on the spider itself is a bit too much - makes the outline harder to make out.

Very nice composition. I think the lighting worked against you here though. Yes, there is contrast, but the highlights are pretty blown.
