    The spider is awesome. He is really in focus. The only thing I would change about this one is I would crop it a bit to lose some of the blurry foreground, I found it distracting. Overall I like this though.

    The shots are nice... but I would have used a significantly higher aperture to bring in more details... from the look of it (and exif) you were shooting with a 180mm Macro lens... with only at an aperture of 6.3 and shutter of 1/800" you had some room to move up with the available light... I tend to shoot macro around f/11-f/16 to get full insects...
