[Mary Stamper]

[Alfred Forns]

This is right up there with your owls Jody !!!! Love it !!!

[John Cooper]

That's really an ultra close-up Jody!!! Love those eyes, and so sharp - well done!!

[Kaushik Balakumar]

FANTASTIC take.
the eyes have all the details possible.

[Robert Amoruso]

Jody,

This is very cool looking. The expression - if that is what you can call it - is priceless. I would have like to see the same separation at the left leg as the right. What is going on at the bottom edge with the white.

[Robert O'Toole]

Very Nice Jody. Like the high key look over the midnight backgrounds.

[Blake Shadle]

Awesome work, Jody. Incredible perspective.

[Arthur Morris]

Just killer. Andonly four eyes! I would take a hair off the top. later and love, artie

[Julie Kenward]

That is seriously going to mess with my mind tonight when I'm dreaming! Super image!

[Chris Ober]

This is super cool! Take a little off the to like Artie said and I wish the bottom wasn't in a gradual fade like it is. Nice work

[Arthur Morris]

I love the bottom white fade... Makes it mystical.

later and love, artie

[Mike Moats]

Hey Jody, a very cool in your face shot. Like the high key BG. Well done.

[Vincent Grafhorst]

Now that is close! Awesome photo. What setup is the one you were using here exactly?

[Van Hilliard]

Outstanding! I agree with Robert Amoruso regarding the slight imbalance of the legs but I have to agree with others that this is a fabulous spider shot.
