    Hi, John

    While I can understand your inclusion of the horizontal planks for size reference, I find them to detract from the overall image. It looks like a splice of 3 different images here.

    I think the one nail head nearest the spider is sufficient to give it that itsy bitsy aspect. Might I suggest that this one may have had more impact as a portrait shot.

    Cooling looking spider btw :thumbsup:

    Re: Itsy Bitsy Spider

    There's never a right nor wrong way to express something. Just different ways to communicate and interpret.

    I interpret this image as vertical only because of the vertical orientation of the spider and vertical orientation of the grain pattern around the spider. Now if the spider was turned 90 degrees, I have no idea what I would have done
