The speckles are distracting. Watch your flash.

I am not a big spider fan, but it blends well with the challenge... 7

Would have been a better pic without flash...(just my 2¢ worth)

While this suits the challenge very well the flash glare is overwhelming.

Tiny, inconspicuous, and frightening, but not really camouflaged for that carpet.
Might have worked better if the carpet wasn't so dang clean.

ewwwwwwwh!!!!! i hate those lurkers!! yesterday, my friend sprayed a spider with bug spray and about 5,000 babies popped out and started running everywhere!! EWWH! gives me the chills! geez, i digress.

ABOUT YOUR PHOTO: lol. i love the texture and the differing colors in the texture, it adds alot of visual interest. the spider still creeps me out, but i like the pic. fits challenge well. overall good job! :)

Oooooooooooo, ick, ick, ick!!!! I hate those spiders! But on to the shot itself, just don't make me hold the spider, kay?

This is a great idea overall and the sharpness of the fibers in the carpet and the detail on the spider is outstanding. The DOF is well done but the light seems a tad harsh and there seems to be a little spot on his back area that's a tad blown out. The orange colors in the carpet are a bit distracting. Maybe if the whole thing was converted to Black and White and it would really make the spider a part of the scenery, forcing the viewer to spend more time looking for him. But again, great capture, tell me you killed him afterwards! LOL:) A 7

Based on the thread size, he must be a little guy, did you let him stay?
