I really like this picture! I like the color contrast, the sharpness and the composition. Although you can see some parts were missed by the focus stacking, I love it nonetheless, because it gives the image an almost dreamy feeling, in contrast with the sharpness you perceive at a first glance. You have done very well! Congratulations :-)

So cute! This is one f those images that makes you wonder why spiders are so scary to so many people :-) A great capture, great focus and shallow depth of field and well balanced whites. Congratulations on your top 10!

Congratulations on your win :-) This image caught my attention the first moment I saw it. I tried focus stacking and it is not easy. The magnification and the sharpness you obtained are amazing. I also like the dark background that gives the image a scary/mysterious feeling. Well done and keep up the good work!

I really love this! I like the different POV, the shallow depth of field with a good focus and the colors are amazing! A different image that certainly stands out. If you like experimenting you could try cropping the upper left side a little so that the spider falls on one of the thirds points, I'd be curious to see how that would turn out :-) Congratulations on your top 10!

Lovely image! The focus is spot on and the colors are beautiful. The spider itself is an eye catcher and you certainly accomplished in giving it the attention it deserves. White is not easy to capture without clipping especially if in combination with other colors but you did great! Congratulations on your top 10 :-)

I love the moment you've captured! Great focus and the best of timing. This is one of my favorite spiders and you managed to capture it splendidly. At f/7.1 you have an amazing portion of the spider and it's prey, in focus, which is uncommon with these subjects. Congratulations on your beautiful image!
