The first thing I notice off the bat is the subject is not all that enticing. real spiders maybe, plasitc ones...not so much. secondly the surface that it sits on is a very difficult one to expose properly because of all the shiny bits. You get lots of little blown out reflections, and it generally will underexpose your subject because of the huge contrast between it and the surface.
On the plus side, your DOF is nice, focus on the middle is sharp, and you've controlled the lighting on the object nicely.
as for meeting the challenge, some of the anal-ysts will get you because they won't look at the abdomen as the focal point, they choose the sternum and tell you you're not in the centre. tough to meet the challenge in this case using that perspective on the spider.
Hope this helps. Sometimes you have to be around DPC awhile before you get the voters figured out. of course, just when i think I've got them figured out i get hammered anyway, but whaddevah. :)

| It's centered but the subject is really uninteresting. Maybe if it wear a real spider. The choice of a sweater or afgahn for the background was kind of odd. |

| The plastic spider and the blurred background tend to make me loose interest quickly. Back out further and add some more color. |

| Interesting snapshot... but would have been much more interesting with a real spider! Highlights are a bit burnt out. Very effective dof. |
