While the background does make the subject stand out, I think it is a little too bright. Kinda hurts the eyes to look at it. But a good macro of the spider.

do not like background

I like the interesting color effects.

Looks cool, but more like Andy Warhall than a photo. 6 Swash

Cool, but I would have cropped it a lot closer

wow, that's quite yellow :)
challenge -- met
technical -- i suspect you played a lot with the contrast because (well, because everything's so colorful ;) some of the spider legs are no longer visible. personally, i would've prefered a more natural rendition of the spider, but that's just me.
composition -- having the spider in the middle of the shot works here.

ouch, my eyes :) ...I'm not too crazy about the yellow bg....composition is too centered

Your "artistic" rendering is what made me rate this quite high. If it had been an "ordinary" shot of the spider, I would not have like it nearly as much. This definitely has a certain appeal to me - in spite of the fact that I very much dislike spiders. lhall

Great spider. How'd you get it like this. Is this it's natural color? I like the life like shots....text book shots. Since I'm not sure I'll give you a 6. If you tell me this is his real color, I'll have to rethink my score - more like an 8 or so. PTL

nice coloring
11/12/2002 06:57:00 PM
Very interesting! would have gotten a very high score from me except for the blown-out legs. Cool.
11/12/2002 06:46:00 PM
nice composition and graphics, but what is this??

Great colour. 9 Sonifo

Very cool.

Artsy yes, perhaps having the spider a little off center as well as the shade of yellow being a little less overpowering would help contrast the spider from the background.

I like the colours, however this photograph feels too doctored, though I'm sure you didn't break any rules. Good Luck. Jacko 6

Great colours, could have used more detail
11/11/2002 10:33:00 AM
Nice colors...
11/11/2002 08:15:00 AM
not sure about the saturated colours... 6
