Itsy Bitsy Spider

[David N Smith]

I took this shot in my wife's flowerbed this weekend. I am wondering if I should have used a wider aperture in order to have blurred the background more? Also how is composition & exposure? Any other critiques will be welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Can someone tell me why the image did not post? I have never had this problem before.

Thank you.

Hi David- Not sure. Flickr instructions are here:

You know it's much easier just to become a BPN member and have them host your image!

Thanks John. I thought I did that but apparently I did something wrong. I will wait until tomorrow and try again.
I am thinking very seriously about becoming a BPN member as my images are becoming better I feel that I will really start to benifit more from being on here.
