 Found on my counter, after literally falling off of the ceiling. Yuck. And then I spent precious minutes of my life photographing him! The things I do for DPC ::rolls eyes:: I love the shadow, though; that's what interested me in shooting this particular subject.

Had 48mm of extension tubes attached.

PP - converted from RAW, rotated, cropped, levels, white balance, dodge/burn/desat on "face," increased contrast, burnt shadow, hue shifted yellow to red, resized, cloned out a couple of stray spots.

Woo hoo - no comments! Somewhere there's a ribbon floating about for that. I hate spiders, but thought this very appropriate for the challenge, and rather liked the shadow as well.
