*Critique Club*
Let me know where this is, so I never move there. I don't mind spiders, but the ones here are all fuzzy. Cuddly looking. This guy looks harmful.
As to if it meets the challenge, "to each their own". Everyone takes things differently, and if you think of spiders when you think of home, then it fits the challenge. Who am I to say otherwise.
As for the shot itself. Really neat. Nice focus on the front legs. I think that the front 'feet' are nice and crisp and really sharp looking both sharp focus and sharp meaning pointy. It's a good combo. I dislike seeing pointy things with sharp focus. Doesn't usually work.
The lighting looks ok. Even puts a bit of shine on the web.
I wonder though if it would have been possible to get any detail out of the body. We can see he's got a body and legs, but that's all he is. Can't really see a head, or any detail OF the head or body. I think the black kind of makes it all blend in together. Might not even be possible to GET any detail, but would definately be interesting.
I like the angle and framing/cropping. Nice and close, but not crowded. You COULD have cropped a bit off the bottom and still had a good crop, but as it, I don't think it's harmful at all to the photo.
You did a nice job of blurring the background, and I find nothing distracting in the background. The lighter area at the bottom actually gives it enough variation as to not be boring in my opinion.
Nice find!

THanks for the comments.
It's not a Black Widow, just turned black with levels and desaturation. The photo was majorly cropped and fliped - it was actually hanging upside down. The uncropped photo gave more of a feel for the home, but well, wasn't inspring at all.

It may not an exact fit for the "Home Sweet Home" topic (in my opinion) but is still a good photo. Nice, clear and in focus. Good Luck.

| I'm not so sure of this shot for this challenge, but I'll tell you it is a great shot. really clear with a shallow DOF makes this picture. The little shine off the spider is really cool too. Very nice picture even though I don't think its really good for this challenge. Maybe an allusion to this being the spider's home would've been a little more appropriate. Great photo regardless! |
