Very nice. Great sharpness throughout, and I like the vivid green. It looks like the spider is holding the entire scene together; if it were to let go all would spring apart.

Cool. The lighting looks great and you've really got detail in the moss. And, of course, the spider adds a ton of interest. :toast:

Very nice macro, Audrey. I like the rather unconventional framing, rather like a reverse rule of thirds, and the "stars" add a lot to the image. Nice work!

This is wonderful. I love the structured texture and the perfect placement of the spider. This is eye catching and a lot of fun to look at.

This is great: the repetition of lines in moss and spider, the color contrast. The unconventional composition (spider facing out of the frame) distracts me a bit but I like it when folks break the rules, and most of the other commenters see to agree with you on that one. One way of making sense of the comp for me is that the spider is moving through the frame and has left its mark in the lines of the moss in its path.
