A new photograph.

This photograph came out a lot more smooth and blue than I thought.
I must say, I really like it, I can't stop looking at it. The spider just sat there and let me shoot away.

Comments are ++good.

Hmm. It's a bit dark, in my opinion. I find it hard to see the spider, since he is pretty close to the background and the window draws away attention. I would have changed the angle a little so the window outlined much more of his body.

Yep, that's what happens when you forget your ISO is turned way down. But, believe it or not, those are the things that I like most about the image. It's dark, it makes me feel calm, instead of the stark 'OMG SPIDDER' deal.
I took quite a few pictures, and this was actually one in a series of 16, one of the only ones that came out clearly, the others had different angles and such, but they didn't turn out right.

yes good picture in deed, i also don't think its too dark, the window is good placed in the middle and the spider almost in the golden cut(is is called cut?) well you know what i mean.Additionally are many lines from the object parallel and diagonal which makes it more intresting.

It has somewhat dangerous in it, a spider in the house almost as if it just came from outside what you just see blurred in the background; And then the sharpness of the spider in contrast to the peaceful background.

Good Shoot,apart from that id prolly smashed the spider in the first shook,instance

Right now I use a Nikon N55 (entry level) SLR and a Nikon Coolpix P1 (point-and-shoot 8megapixel digital). This was taken with the Coolpix.

And thanks, Blacktor.
