Nice angle here Dawn and great detail! Don't think I'd want to get up close with him :) #1289767

Thanks Tori, fortunately this spider is very small so it's hard to see all of the creepiness in the real thing. It's only about a third of an inch in size. #8773811

Dan I am so sorry, just realized I mistyped your name :(
You're macro shots are really terrific, these guys would not go over well if they were larger, lol!

No problem Tori. I saw that but realize how easy it is to make a typo slip. We all do it. Thanks for the comments on the macro shots. I'm striving for the best image quality I can produce. No, if larger, we would be living some Hollywood Horror movie, LOL #8773881

The detail is awsome, great image #8774148

Dan W. Dooley July 19, 2010

And creepy, right? :-) #8774184

Janet Dietz July 19, 2010

Extremely creepy, with great detail. #8774343

Dan W. Dooley July 19, 2010

LOL, thanks Janet. #8774349

I am fasanited with spiders, never considered them creepy. I go out of my way to find and photograph them. #8774410

Rita K. Connell level-classic July 21, 2010

don't like spider they don't like me actually almost die twice from a spider bit so I don't go out my was to photgraph them. but Dan this one is awesome, creepy, very cool at the same time. #8779413

Dan W. Dooley July 22, 2010

Rita, I don't like them either. I know they play a role in nature and to that extent I will cut them some slack but I will certainly limit where they are allowed to go. The inside of my house or other areas where we might cross paths to readily are certainly off limits to them and they enter those ares at their own peril. #8779683

Wow....good for you, Dan. I get all excited when I get an "editor's pick". I can't imagine how you must feel when you have a finalist. Good luck!!! Go Gold!!! #8826589

Dan W. Dooley August 13, 2010

Thanks Janet. I get excited too when I get an EP. Yes, receiving a Finalist is quite thrilling. Now if I could only come up with a gold some time. :-) #8826709

Dawn M. Schneider August 13, 2010

what a scary but absolutely wonderful finalist!!!! #8827116

Dan W. Dooley August 13, 2010

Scary, yes but considering that to see the living spider which is only a quarter to a third of an inch in size, lessens the threatening look. Unless viewed through a macro lens. :-)

Thanks Dawn, #8827161

Tori A. Gonzalez August 14, 2010
