Great shot, Rieno! It reminds me of one of the 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' movies when they are miniscule and stuck on the kitchen counter. They hitch a ride on a daddy long legs! Congratulations on your finalist award!

  Very fine. Showing the eyes of this spider with such clarity among the tangle of its legs is remarkable. At first I thought that the picture lacked good background but just staring at the picture for a long while one realizes that it is perhaps the starkness of the view that paralyzes one to the whole alien aspect of the creature. It stands alone. Nothing else needs to be said. Great work.
