Unusual subject; we always tend to look for perfect flowers. This is nice.
Only two little things: it would have been better to see the front of the spider (if possible, of course); and the composition is a bit too central IMHO.

The BG works well here.

You would take this beautiful old woman and put her in the corner with a spider for an eye? At least where it is now it makes for an unusual hairpiece.

Charles: I like it when a good image is made with less than prime subject matter. A nice find and a fine capture. >=))>

Such a common sight, and yet such an uncommon photograph. Proves that something does not need to be pretty to be beautiful.

Another interesting image Charles. Excellent job on the bg separation and subject isolation. Creative composition as well. No suggestions.

Definitely, unusual and artistic. Lots of fine color in there. Nice to know "old women" are appreciated and given center stage once in awhile.
