Very nice, good focus on the eyes and fore legs. It would be nice with more DOF, but I know how hard that can be to achieve in the real world. Well done.

Fine shot, DOF where it needs to be. Very difficult exposure to balance as well, and you did it.

What? No skin for this very gravid spider to munch on Brian? :lol: Maybe they are not fond of the human arm... This is a cool shot and love those peepers!

Wow, look at those peepers. :) At first I thought I would have gone for more dof, but on closer inspection, I love it the way that it is. The selective focus really pulls the viewer's attention to those eyes! Cool shot!
