Yeah, in hindsight I could've done lots more with this little guy (who lives on a shelf over my computer) -- and FYI -- I'm not afraid of him, but lots of people are ...
As to the question about the reflected spots on his back - those are grains of sand that either he or some of his food (crickets) have kicked up
Oh - and "HE" is a B.Smithi otherwise known as a Mexican Red Kneed Tarantula |

| Close to being a great shot. But unless you're afraid of just the legs of a spider.... (I know, I know... very picky.) I wish you could see more of this guy's face and not just the legs. You're close enough and have such a great definition of the hairs on the legs that I bet the eyes would look great. |

| This is a pretty good nature shot but spiders with hairy legs aren't to be feared. |

| Nice macro/abstract that conveys the theme well. |

Is this a red-kneed tarantula?
Youve got some spots of reflection in the middle top of the picture. If they are from the reflective glass, try using a polarising filter, or getting in the cage with the beasty. |

| The hairy leggs remind me of my wife. (red hair) - I want to see more of the spider. - zoom out a little. increase the DOF. - nice picture - 7 |

| Wow, now that's really micro! It might have been better if you had moved back a little though. It would have given you a little more depth of field and if I had been able to see more of the spider it would have had more impact on me. Shey. |

| This is a very nice shot... Macro images sometimes work better with a little extra depth of field to bring the full subject into focus. if you chose to limit your depth of field on this photo to just the upper part of the spider legs, you were successful. IMHO, I would like to see more of the spider in focus to enhance this photo in my view :) = 6 - jmsetzler |

| spiders don't scare me, I don't see why everyone (or if it's the same person) likes to take spiders that much.. |

| Way too little DOF for this to really work. AS wider angle to give more context might have helped |

| Fear of fuzzies?! I take it this is a spider? You need a bit more sharpness. This fits well into an abstract category. |

| Not sure what equipement you're using, but if possible you need to get more depth of field so the spider is in focus instead of just a knee cap of a spider. My camera couldn't do it, so I can't say how. |
